Finally after many questions, much reading, and careful planning I now
have completed and am listening with my new Random Wire, far end fed
antenna.


It is Soooo much more quiet compared to the Windom I had in the attic.
I had no reception on the 80 meter band before and now there is are
many Hams yapping away. There is so many more stations I can hear now
that the noise is gone.


Now listening to South Africa broadcasting around 15.24. No digital
yet.


Thanks to all who advised and directed me.

- about 15 ft down to about a foot above the
- ground to the balun that is mount directly
- to the ground rod.
