20 Meter Dipole - instant DX!!!

Now I have to learn how to match antennas & receiving systems! : } Snip You just have to have the antenna elements the right length. Which sorta implies an antenna for each frequency you wish to listen to. I don't have room for an antenna farm, so I have to make do with one (external) antenna that works for as many frequencies as possible. I currently have an Eavesdropper C attached to the side of the house, which seems to be working well, BUT I have a homemade dipole which seems to work just as well! (used with a RadioShack DX-394). So far I've logged over 200 frequencies since Christmas with the dipole, since I just hooked up the Eavesdropper today. So far I've picked up another dozen new (to me) freq's on the Eavesdropper. What I *really* need is the ability to filter receptions; I seem to now be getting a lot of multiple receptions since plugging in the Eavesdropper . . .. |
