Sangean ATS-909 Radio - In-the-Rood External Antenna and Hook-Up

Build one of these "T" shaped Antennas* to go along

Used 300 Ohm TV type Twin-Lead

WINDOM-IZE-IT
Make it an Off-Center-Fed Dipole with the Feed-Point
at the 38%-to-62% Mark from the Right Side :
8 Foot Feed-Point Mark = 3 Feet 1 Inch
10 Foot Feed-Point Mark = 3 Feet 10 Inches
12 Foot Feed-Point Mark = 4 Feet 7 Inches
15 Foot Feed-Point Mark = 5 Feet 8 Inches

The Vertical Down-Lead can be 6~8 Feet and should
be Twisted to give a Turn every 3~4 Inches.

For the Sangean ATS-909 Radio the Radio End of the
Twin-Lead needs to be connected to a 1/8" Stereo Plug.

Question - How Do I Hook-Up an External Antenna
to the Sangean ATS-909 Radio ?
