What ever happened to that guy that did the news and a full hour show from
Cuba???
I can't remember his name!


Cuban news is delivered with such a Communist Revolutionary bias, that
I don't really follow it. But the 0330U DX program on Saturday is
interesting at times.

I can post a recording (WMA format) to alt.binaries.radio-scanner or
alt.binaries.sounds.radio.misc of a description of the construction of
a "Stealth" 20m antenna if you're interested.



I've seen some good ideas he

Yes. I found this one interesting:

I'm happy with the 100ft wire I have up. When I get some time I'll make
a passive pre selector and do some better grounding.


I've got to do something about noise pickup through the antenna, but
its going to be difficult to find a solution that is distant from the
source of the noise (the house) and not unsightly.

I use a thirty foot (10 m) piece of coax as a lead in from the wire. I
had a well grounded water tap underneath the connection point, so I used
that instead of grounding the sheath nearer the radio.

I often tune off center to improve reception. 6178.0 kHz was probably
the frequency to which the receiver was tuned.
