Sure! But I had to buy the components. From the nature of the question, it
sounded like he wanted to "McGuyver" a solution without a trip to Rat Shack.

Seems to me, if you're going to go to the trouble to buy components to build
an antenna, then it doesn't make sense to rule out actually buying an
antenna (if that would be the best solution for what he's trying to listen
to).

I agree with where you're going on this, CW, but thought the parameters of
the question were rather odd, that's all.

Very probably the best solution would be to build a good long-wire.

Oh, then by all means feel free to donate one.

He didn't rule out the antenna. He ruled out buying one.

Neil,

Why do you rule out the antenna?

That's easily the best solution to your reception problem.

Hello,

I am so tired of starting to listen to a program only to have it
turn
to
static
before the program is over. The other night I was listening to
Allan
Weiners
program at 7415 about shortwave which is one hour long. halfway
through
it was
nothing but mush. I was so upset. It was a great program. I am
in
Philly.

I have a Grundig Satellit 700, not a crummy radio, what can I do
short
of
buying an antenna to help myself out.

I will do any amount of work to build rather than buy, within
reason.

HHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP
MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
