John, thanks for that link, it made for good reading. Just in regard
to antennas though, I am becoming more aware of the importance of them
to getting good reception. In regard to my little Grundig, would my
antenna be of the SWL antenna variety? And what the heck sort of
antennas are 'dipoles' and 'Yagi beams'?! I've never heard of those
types before and wonder are these only found on the large-scale ham
radio stations? Gotta love the names of them that's for sure hehe.
Thanks so much for your help in advance.
Kind Regards,
Brian Anasta
