There is hardly a better portable performer. For significant better results you will have to get a good tabletop shortwave radio. An outdoor antenna -dipole or endfed- with coax feed as high as possible with legnth of about 30' to 300' will do wonders. An impedance transformer (magnetic balun) on endfed antennas or antenna tuner on dipole-antennas will help as well. |
