Hello:
Am using a long wire (actually, I guess I should call it a random length wire) antenna for receiving only. It runs around the 4 edges of my attic, and then down to rceiver. Do listening only up to 30 MHz. Have a JRC NRD 545 Saw an ad for the WinRadio Balun on the Grove site. [The WiNRADiO WR-LWA-0130 Long Wire Antenna Adapter] Would sure appreciate any opinions as to whether it's worth getting, and if it "might" improve receotion for me ? Any other thoughts on this would be appreciated. I've seen, over the years, comments that for receiving only, and using a long-wire, a Balun to match Z would not add anything to S/N, and isn't worth even trying. Others have said in effect, "it can't hurt to match the Z." A bit confused. Anyone ever used this unit, or one like it, for receiving ? Thanks, Bob |
