Just out of idle curiosity, what kind of antenna system do you use?

Just an idle answer...

I have a 130 foot long, 25-30 foot high, bent dipole between two
trees, fed with ladder line, used on 80-10 (including WARC bands)
with a Johnson KW Matchbox balanced tuner. On 160 meters, I
reconfigure the antenna to what is essentially a top loaded
vertical, using a T-match tuner.

Obviously not as good as a tower and beam, but I work lots o' DX
with it, for example the VK0IR (Heard Island) dx'pedition and North
Korea. (If you are not a ham, trust me, these are nice catches).
Needless to say, it also works nicely for SWL'ing with my vintage
receivers.

A tower would be nice, but not worth the hassle of dealing with the
(overly) strict city and subdivision restrictions.

Well, it won't hurt to try it...

Your buddy says it is a quiet antenna. Compared to what? It is commonly
acknowledged that noise is more vertically polarized and thus a vertical
antenna is a bit noisier than a horizontal antenna like a dipole. I
really don't think the dipole I described is any quieter than any other
dipole AFAIK.

The reason I used the antenna was mostly because of its benefits when
transmitting. With the tuner and the ladder line feed, it will operate
on many bands with relatively low line loss. For SWL'ing, I'm not sure
if it would have any particular benefit.

Which vintage receivers are you using?

I've had many over the years, from an R-390 on down, but now that I am
at the Gateway to Geezerdom, I've been trying to thin out the herd. The
current fleet:

1912 Loose Coupler crystal set

circa 1921 Westinghouse Aeriola Jr. (crystal set, first mass produced

circa early 30s National SW-3 Thrill Box (regen)

Not true. It was actually a handful of people at a handful of
institutions making greedy (and stupid) decisions. 2 acts of Congress,
criminal behavior by Moody's and S&P and some below the radar "waivers"
created a derivatives bubble. Barney Frank just provided the bubble
material. Phil Gramm, Alan Greenspan, Clinton, Geightner, etc. all went
crazy reversing the laws Roosevelt put in place. This is what happens
when business is deregulated.

Sorry, chum - Dave's right both in general and in detail, and

What do you mean "turn down more pre-existing
conditions"? Are you saying people with chronic conditions are denied
coverage? That is not my understanding.

Your problem is that you simply lack understanding and comprehension.

You are a mentally ill clown 'tard and it is you who need the voluntary

Now go take your meds, Rickmers, and shut the hell up!

It may be more a matter of it being a good antenna than what he
was previously using. A lot of random cuts, a Windom, and some
twinlead dipoles have been on his property in the past.

I've always wanted an SX-28. Never found one that hadn't been cut

From Wikipedia:

The Commonwealth Fund, in its annual survey, "Mirror, Mirror on the
Wall", compares the performance of the health care systems in
Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada and the
U.S. Its 2007 study found that, although the U.S. system is the most
expensive, it consistently under-performs compared to the other
countries.[15] One difference between the U.S. and the other countries
in the study is that the U.S. is the only country without universal
health insurance coverage.

The Commonwealth Fund completed its thirteenth annual health policy
survey in 2010.[16] A study of the survey "found significant
differences in access, cost burdens, and problems with health
insurance that are associated with insurance design".[16] Of the
countries surveyed, the results indicated that people in the United
States had more out-of-pocket expenses, more disputes with insurance
companies than other countries, and more insurance payments denied;
paperwork was also higher although Germany had similarly high levels
of paperwork.[16]
