Dont overlook perhaps an antenna you already have up,
Great advice.
I use an 80 meter dipole thats
fed with open line, I short the open line at the shack and feed that
into the receiver,
I have copied the east coast many times from Hawaii, and of course
all the other guys
between, up to Alaska, thats on 475KHZ. Both CW and WSPR. No
preamp used.
Something like this was my 160M antenna in Chicago.
So if your wanting to just listen and get an idea of whats there,
maybe check your present
set up, coax fed dipole would work the same if you short the coax at
the shack end.
Yes, except that if there's a choke at the feedpoint, you'll be using
only the feedline as the antenna.
