Trying to improve my reception from Chicago with baseball season
approaching. I'm about 100 miles sse in Indiana. I ran about 75' RG-6 from my radio across the attic and outdoors to a tree. I had maybe 10 extra feet of coax so I wrapped it around the tree. I strung about 50' of #9 steel wire between 2 trees going east/west about 15' above ground and attached the copper conductor to it. I terminated the coax shield at the tree with a ground rod. At the radio I attached the shield to the ground terminal and the center cu conductor to the other am external antenna terminal. It greatly improved my reception I get all the major Chicago sports channels, but the one I was most interested in 670 is the worst. What all did I do wrong and what can I do to improve 670? |
