‘A better antenna for older SW radios’

by admin on August 28, 2010


##TURN ON ANNOTATIONS for extra information## To improve the performance of older shortwave radios that only have Hi-Z 300ohm antenna inputs you may want to try a high performance antenna. The antenna shown here is made to be most effective at 14Mhz , but it will still be quite effective across the whole SW spectrum. Best of all , it can be made for under $20. It is a REAL antenna, not like these gimmick things often found being sold on eBay. gregW:-) OH2FFY Tags: Amateur radio , Ham radio , Icom , Yaesu , QRP , mobile
