I am confused..............are you suggesting I use a T2FD for a noise
sensing antenna to be used with my ANC-4?

Or should I take down my vertical transmitting antenna and replace it
with a T2FD?


Neither. I was suggesting (and obviously not very well) that you use it as
a receiving antenna. It's very low noise. It makes a good transmitting
antenna too, but you need to have a big enough balun and termination
resistor to handle the power.

Geoff.




Your suggestion is a good one. I found some construction plans, all I need
is the stuff to build it with.
I think it would make an excellent sense antenna, but won't know until I try
it to be sure.
Any idea if it shows any directivity?
