Actually Bob that is part of the problem. I am total newbie to SWL and
so I don't know which frequencies I would prefer the best. I'm usually
all over the place in any band I happen to find myself in. I seem to
have the most difficulty down in the shack with the higher
frequencies. Antenna situations for swl is not too good here. I have
160m inverted V, 75m dipole, and 5btv verticle. I'll stick the T2FD in
the attic for now and that should help near upper bands. Then I'll try
a long wire when WX gets better. Part of problem here I'm sure is bad
ground too, so lots of work needs to be done still.

regards to all,
Bob
