Had hoped antenna details were provided. Just curious.
Agreed OP please follow up with antenna details!
That said, pretty cool to get a signal that far away.
Thanks and about the antenna, all I do is use alligator clips on a short wire to connect the whip antenna of the radio to the long 100' antenna wire. Bingo, worldwide reception.
Sure! my old antenna wire was It worked well, however was not very bendable, and when I was moving it to run between a different set of trees it broke.
I upgraded the wire to . The new wire configuration runs in nearly a straight line hung up perpendicular to the house in trees.
I think the difference between the antennas for me boils down to the linearity of the wire. The old antenna wire was generally in a straight line but had some pretty major alterations in path, too. The new wire is strung up in a better way, tighter and much straighter. Should be good listening this winter.
