Hi,
Can anyone give me an idea of how to make a basic shortwave antenna. I
have some coax running into my attic an need to know how to fandangle an
antenna up there.
-What is a good length of wire to use? (no antenna tuner)
-How do I hook it up to the horizontal wire running accross my attic?
-I have extra coax up there can I use that or does it have to be bare
wire and thicker?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have a radio shcak close by for
any parts etc.
I have heard of a few antennas that work excellent but I don't have $100
for an antenna!Is there a good website anywhere?...
Please e-mail me at
Thanks-Russ

This N.G. is a great place for a resource..thanks to all who have helped
me in the past!
