75/80 Meter homebrew Broomstick SWL antenna

[nexus]

Was browsing the web looking for some antenna projects and came across a very interesting one which can be used indoors or outdoors, and its considered a very good antenna you can build for SWL....

Check the site out with pictures and detailed instructions.

Yes, I built a smaller version of this (not nearly this neat looking). It's a vertical, after all, and subject to being sensitive to noise, but it does work fairly well through a tuner. I'm not transmitting with mine, just receiving.
