Hi there, I have a Drake R8B radio and I am not getting the most out of it
because of the antenna. I have a 80 foot lot and want to improve my current
antenna setup. Right now I have 50 feet of wire strung between 2 trees 6
feet off the ground which I twisted a feed in line in the center of the
length. I was wondering if I raise the antenna if it would make a big
difference and also I can lengthen it if it doesn't need to be straight I.E.
90 degrees around a tree. Where should I connect the feed in line( I am
thinking of using coax)? Also how do I connect the wires? Ground and center.

I realize these might be stupid questions but I am very new to doing this.

Thanks very much for your help.

Pierre
