Advanced antenna solution for noisey suburban area ???
Hiya...
Here is one I could use some help with.... As always, I'm always trying to improve my sw listening capabilities. I have an R-75 and two very good antennas on my roof. One is a G5RV and the other is a 200 foot wire that utilizes a coax feed and matching transformer. Both are very good antennas. I've thought about getting a new radio to improve my capabilities and I've tried a few radios on loan from friends. Those radios include the NRD-545, R8-A and R-5000. I've come to the painful conclusion that the performance problem for me isn't my radio or my antennas. Both are good. The problem for me is my area. I live in the northern NJ suburbs and it is a very noisy area. I've read a bunch of web pages on antennas, but I haven't really found any antenna solutions that boast to be ideal solutions for noisy areas. I've got a fairly good understanding about antennas, but I'm not advanced. Does anyone have ANY ideas as to what would be an ideal antenna solution that would offer me some improvement as far as increasing signal into my radio and limiting noise ??? Money is no object, and neither is effort. I'll spend money on an "out of the box" solution as well as put time into an elaborate home brew project. Performance is key. If it would help to know more about my current antennas, detailed info about both of them is on my web page. The link is in my signature. Any suggestions would be most welcome. -- Respectfully, Michael Location: New Jersey Primary Receiver: R-75 with full Kiwa mods Antennas: G5RV, 200ft "Frankenstein" roof wire Additional Radios: 7600GR,KA-1101,KA-1102 PL-550, KA-989, Info-Mate 837, GE-SR III Westinghouse H-104 (seven tube) Web Site: http://md_dxing.tripod.com |
