Default Watkins-Johnson WJ-8711A vs ....

Hiya...

I've always been curious to know what it would be like to use a magabuck
professional rig like the Watkins-Johnson WJ-8711A for DX'ing.

Take an R8 or an R-75 and assume that the antenna will be a 200ft long wire
with coax feed, balun and proper grounding. Using radios in that class as a
comparison point, what extra would I get out of a rig like the WJ-8711A for
DX'ing in comparison using the same antenna ???

Also.. Can/Should a rig in the class of a WJ-8711A be hooked up to an
antenna that is so large that it would overload an R8 or R-75 ???

Thanx !!!!

Respectfully,

Michael
