* Low Noise Inverted "L" Antenna - a la John Doty
* Laid-Out : East (Bottom Tip) to West (Far End)
* 15 Foot Vertical-Up-Leg with a 30 Foot Horizontal-Out-Arm
* Wire Antenna Element = 50 Strands of #41 Litz Wire = 20 AWG
* TV 'type' 300 Ohm to 75 Ohm Matching Transformer
* RG6 Quad-Shield Coax Cable Feed-in-Line about 25 Feet Long

RHF Says - My AM/MW Antenna is a Kiwa AM/MW Air Core Loop Antenna

PORTABLE WHIP ANTENNA TIP
For a back of the Receiver "Whip" Antenna for your 'portable'
Radio Operations with your Kenwood R-5000 Receiver consider
the Miracle Whip Antenna.
