Mike M,

The Par End-Fed Shortwave Listener (EF-SWL) Antenna is
a very good design and well constructed for an all around
Antenna for both AM/MW BCL'ing and SWL'ing. Gives good a
ll-around Shortwave Band reception and works well on the
AM/MW Band Antenna too. [ 500 kHz to 30 MHz ]

The Par Electronics EF-SWL Antenna can be Rigged
{Set-Up} with a 15 Foot Vertical-Up-Leg and a 30 Foot
Horizontal-Out-Arm to form an Inverted "L" Antenna
using a Coax Cable feed-in-line and remote Ground Rod.

NOTE - This configuration {shape} of Antenna is commonly
called an Inverted "L" Antenna and lends it self to Low Noise
installation concepts : The Par EF-SWL Antenna lends itself
to this 'small' Inverted "L" Antenna Rigging and it is only
45 Feet Long and includes the Wire Antenna Element and
Matching Transformer - Just add Ground Rod plus Coax Cable
and you are ready to Rig-It and Enjoy Listing to your Radios.
