Antenna for shortwave reception
ALA-1530+ loop antenna, and let me tell you, that one is well past my
budget, because it costs $466... I am looking for something a lot cheaper... :-) If it is recommended to replace the ANT-60, that is. This is my favorite: http://www.antenna.it/military/log-periodic.htm But seriously folks, the cheapest for me was busting open a junk TV for the deflection coils. A qrp type ham antenna tuner will certainly help. Easy to build L type by using an AM tuning cap and hind wound coil on toilet paper roll. Use a piece of scrap brass for a slider. Put the whole thing on a block of wood and use clip leads to change it around for the best signal. The earphone jack can often be used for a ground point. |
