Any Good Or Useful For Listening Only ?: WiNRADiO WR-LWA-0130 Long Wire Antenna Adapter
Hello:
Am using a long wire (actually, I guess I should call it a random length
wire) antenna for
receiving only. It runs around the 4 edges of my attic, and then down to
rceiver.
Do listening only up to 30 MHz. Have a JRC NRD 545
Saw an ad for the WinRadio Balun on the Grove site. [The WiNRADiO
WR-LWA-0130 Long Wire Antenna Adapter]
Would sure appreciate any opinions as to whether it's worth getting, and if
it "might" improve receotion
for me ?
Any other thoughts on this would be appreciated.
I've seen, over the years, comments that for receiving only, and using a
long-wire, a Balun to match Z would not
add anything to S/N, and isn't worth even trying.
Others have said in effect, "it can't hurt to match the Z."
A bit confused.
Anyone ever used this unit, or one like it, for receiving ?
Thanks,
Bob
