* Radial Wire Antennas are a very simple and easy way
of obtaining amazingly good radio reception on longwave,
mediumwave and the lower shortwave bands.
..
* The Radial Wire Antenna is simply a length of wire
laid on the ground in a straight line. Connect the wire
to the receiver as normal and connect an earth, the same
as any longwire type Antenna
..
* The Radial Wire Antenna's wire length & direction
depends on the frequency and direction of the stations
you wish to hear.
..
* The Radial Wire Antenna is not a practical Antenna
for your home location, not in a town or city anyway.
If you are prepared to drive off to a good location
with your radio and wires for an afternoon and/or
evening of amazing listening from the relative comfort
of your vehicle, then read on.
