PAR EF-SWL Antenna
 

Hello:

Really don't want to bother everyone in the forum with all my beginner type
questions as relating
to the PAR EF-SWL antenna.

Anyone who is familiar with it, or has one, care to chat off-line with me, a
bit, on it ?

Thanks,
Bob

I have had one for over 2 years. I really am surprised at the widde coverage for a low mounted antenna.. Due to lack of space, I have mine mountd as a sloper at 24 feet going down to 9feet in a North-south direction. I also have powerline noise from an uncooperative power company. the antenna allows me to receive even with arcing transformers. Power company says it's MY problem. FCC complaint sent. I wish that i would be able to mount it higher. I think you will be pleased with the peformance. Greg

I notice it is a 45-foot end-fed wire. That would make it 1/4-wave
long at about 5.2 Mhz. They claim it is optimally designed for
reception from 1 to 30 Mhz. Not sure how thay arrived at that claim.
It should work fine, but just about any random length wire will work
if you have a decent receiver :-)
