I put my Drake in my Library beside my great chair, Got to tap into the
antenna system today and I can DX from there.

Still have the Sat 800 in my office.

SWL "HF" Receive Antenna Splitter
http://www.qrp.pops.net/swl-ant-split.asp

If you SWL Antenna is over 50 Foot long and 100
Feet would be better. You could build your Two
Step 'Passive' Antenna Splitter

1ST - A 1:1:1 Splitter out-side the House or at
the entry to the House : Three Colored Bundled
Wires {all the same length and number of turns}
Wrapped around and through a Ferrite Toroidal
Core [Donut] for an Isolation "Splitter" going
to the two Radios. One-Coax Connector "In" for
Antenna & Ground -and- Two-Coax Connectors "Out"
going to the Radios.

2ND - Run the Coax to your Radios and use a 9:1
Matching Transformer between each of the Radios
and the Coax Cable feeds.

-or- You can also make your own 9:1 Matching
Transformers by using a Two Colored Wires Wrapped
around and through a Ferrite Toroidal Core [Donut]
with One Wire having 30 Turns and the other Wire
having 10 Turns.

By putting it by my great chair I will use it more. I use the frist 10
preset for local stuff and a few SW stations in the next few.

It's very hard to use presets for SW because of the times sets. It's easyer
to just dial'em.

Yeah. I've got more presents on my AORs and Ten-Tec than I will ever
use for that reason.

Then, again, discovery half the fun.
