Now have a 7600GR, works well with the roll up clipped on the whip.
However, most of the time I seem to have a lot of local noise, and I'm in a
shallow valley.
I have an old TV mast on the roof and some nice RG-6 that was left over from
the satellite install.
The old TV antenna was damaged by ice and only the mast is left, about 30
feet above ground.
There is also a wood post about 20 feet high located 80 feet from the house,
it would be pretty easy to string a long wire from the TV mast to the post.
Then attach the wire to the coax, then coax into the house and into the
external port of the Sony.

What would be a decent coupling for the wire to the coax. I'd also like to
ground the coax so that my house noise is minimal.
Ideas?



You'll need a balun to transition from the random wire to the cable.
This will also enable you to put the whole mess at DC ground which will
help protect the radio. Make sure the RG6 is properly grounded at the
point where it enters your house.
