Has anyone used a slinkey antenna? I bought one and hooked it to a tree
in my yard about 30 ft up. I have a Grundig Yacht Boy 400 and I clipped
it to the telescopic antenna. I dont see much improvement. Live in the
Wa. state, is recption real bad here or should I update and get a newer
radio? this one I bought new in 91.
Thanks,
Clyde
Hi Clyde,
That sounds like plenty of antenna for most SWLing - there's just not
enough sunspots to hook it too. A new radio won't fix that.
To those who are counting those sunspots (the missing ones), they have
theories about that which also involve the freemasons, ancient
astronauts, and other influences that will converge on a solution in
2012. The short explanation is that "time will tell."

WHY - The simple Random Wire Antenna is better than the Dipole Antenna for the Shortwave Listener (SWL)
