Shayne,

I have a cliff dweller 2 slinky dipole for 50ohm match, and have it connected to the Kenwood R1000 and Icom R75, and it works perfectly.

That said I did hassle in one QTH place I rented and it was so noisey it wasn't funny. The noise was from a Caltex petrol station and
Woolworth shopping complex 400 m down the road

Regards
Mark

I currently clip a 50 foot wire to the whip of my Sangean ATS-909 whip. it
works fine most of the time for me. Do the slinky antennas currently
available in ebay work? If so, what is the best way to use one?
