Dan,

If I had the space I would put up a really fine antenna. However I don't so
I will do the best that I can. The homeade longwire does pretty good, but I
would like to cut down a little noise and also try to get better reception
of some of the weaker stations. I often think that I am only listening to
the biggies, but sometimes I get lucky and pick up an obscure one.

When I read the loggings here in the group I often try them and find only
white noise. Sure I realize that location also means something but I feel I
can probably do better. That's why I am asking about the P30. It doesn't eat
up a lot of space.

By the way I think that I may have used one of your suggestions when I put
up the 50 foot wire. Because I don't have that much space I strung it on my
fence using tv antenna wire standoffs to keep it off the fence. I put a
decent balun on it and it works fine and it's not really that visible. I
just wish the fence was higher. If I get the P30 I will leave the old one up
and string the P30 along the roof.

Comments?

Hi Tim:
- How much space do you have?

Putting up 200 feet of antenna & center feeding it into the receiver
with a
grounded coax will help with weaker stations..

Is there anybody using the Radiomaster P30 aka (NASA P-30) shortwave
antenna? I am using a throw together 50 ft long wire and I am wondring
about
the performance of the P30. Any information from users would be greatly
appreciated. The long wire works fine I am just thinking of upgrading.

Thanks!
