I've been wondering what the quality of the SW reception is like.
Very good and quiet if done properly. The BEST antenna (most won't use though) is a 108" (I think that's the right inch) steel whip. Ground....ground.......ground.......can't be said enough. I once had two scanners(sometimes three/cb radio/ shortwave receiver and an illegal piece of eqipment for tx on bc freq, didn't use it much-but I did. Yes I know that's bad. I had a total of four either 1/2'or 3/4 stainless steel plates, two welded to the frame of my car and two welded to the frame in the back. *GROUND* is very important, if I can do it in a little 85Olds Firenza with all that and enjoy shortwave with all the rf I had going on inside, you can if that's all you're running in there. If you don't want to go to the extreme in length of antenna, cut it down a tad or some will say in here to used a cb magnet mount (which won't get as good receive and it'll be staticy at certain parts of the spectrum. Good luck and have, you can do it.:-) ~^Monitoring The Spectrum^~ Hammarlund HQ129X /Heathkit Q Multiplier Hammarlund HQ140X Multiple GE P-780's(GREAT BCB Radios) RCA Victor *Strato- World* RCA Victor RJC77W-K(Walnut Grain) 1942 Zenith Wave Magnet 6G 601M Cathedral/ Ross#2311/Rhapsody-MultiBand DX100/394/*SUPER*398/399/402 OMGS Transistor Eight/Realistic 12-1451 Henry Kloss Model One/Bell+HowellSW ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Alpha Delta DX Sloper 57ft. 500ft. 12AWG.
