(Icom R75, Mike Bryant, Louisville, KY) I could get a strong 5 x 9 signal from that off the back of the array! The transmitter is only 200 km from here but aimed in the opposite direction. Might overload the front end of my radio though! Krypsis |

But, that log used an external of 80' of wire hidden on the inside of the wooden privacy fence around my patio. I have several hidden externals that do pretty well, particularly with the preamps on the R75. Right now, I'm trying to lay a 100' foot external around the foundation base of my home. Mike Bryant |

Mike Bryant Do you have plastic gutters? You can lay a wire down inside plastic gutters very neatly. |

Mike Bryant For a 'stealth' Fence Antenna use 300 Ohm Twin-Lead as a long thin Loop Antenna. Build a Nailing Tool to mount the Twin-Lead Small piece of Wood that is 'notched' to Center the Twin Lead in it; with a Groove to Locate and Center the Nail between the Outer Wires of the Twin-Lead. "Jig" Nailing Tool for Twin-Lead [End-View] ==== - Side 3/16" ~ 1/4" == - - - Notch 3/32" ~ 1/8" - - - Center Nail Groove == - - - Notch ==== - Side [Top View] ====================== ====================== ====================[ - Center Nail Groove ====================== ====================== -note- Centering the Nail is important so that you do not damage the Twin-Lead Wires; and the 'Jig' also helps to keep the Head of the Nail about an 1/8" away from the Wires. The Nails mainly keep the Twin-Lead 'on' {Attached-to} the Fence and the Twin-Lead taught between the Nails. Place the Nails about every 6~/8 Feet and at corners and bends. Some may prefer to use short thin Aluminum Nails over Galvanized Steel Nails; http://www.buy.com/prod/common-alumi...208051796.html and others may choose to use Aluminum Roofing Nails with Washers which are a bit to big {thick} for my taste. http://www.greatnorthernmfg.com/al_r...ithwashers.htm Matching : Use a TV 300 Ohm to 75 Ohm Matching Transformer between the Twin-Lead and the RG-6 'Quad' Coax Cable. http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2103912 Connect the Far-End Twin-Lead Wires together so that the Twin Lead forms a very thin Loop Antenna * Note - Some put a Open/Closed Switch here at the Far-End to be able to switch between the long thin Loop Antenna and/to parallel twin wires {Linear Dipole}. While others put a Switch at the Mid-Point of one of the Wires to be able to switch between the long thin Loop Antenna and/to one long half-folded back wire plus one short wire. Mount the Twin-Lead toward the top of the Wooden Fence; about 4~5 Feet above the ground. This is a very 'quiet' Antenna; and you will swear that there is nothing 'there'; until you tune-in a Station and it seams to Pop-Up out of the nothingness. iane ~ RHF |

You used to be able to listen to them from around 2 in the morning Central time until well after sunup. I think it was 100 KW to "the Pacific". Killer signal. |
