Antenna for shortwave reception

No problem though, since having first hand experience with the Ant-60, and if it were mine, I would toss it in the trash, attach a ~60 ft, and get it in the air as high as possible, sanely taking into consideration the environment I am deploying it in. Then provide the antenna with a suitable DC ground, 1mh choke, or so, across the jack to grnd ... again, better, IMHO ... (I have to admit, the reel is handy on the Ant-60, I have to wind mine up around a short length of 8" PVC pipe.) Very handy "dangled" out the porthole of a ship ... It would give him increased reception and eliminate any danger of any type of voltage on the "hot" antenna ... Regards, JS |

Just another ignorant cowardly retard with a gmail account posting from a open server. What a big surprise. However, I did think his radio was a "cheapie" with no real antenna jack. Mistake one.

That's all very nice but has nothing to do with your previous contentious posts.

Go redeem yourself elsewhere as I'm not interested jerk. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
