Hi All, I'd like to install a dual band base antenna (likely no more than 50W at max output) for reporting in to my Skywarn Net and ragchewing. I'd also like to put up a discone or similar wideband RX antenna for monitoring Aircraft, Marine, RR, etc. I'm assuming I can't put them right...

Greetings, I have found a site called websdr.com where you can SWL without a radio, Its streamed over the web, I use this frequently due to the fact that I am a renter and my landlord is not exactly warm to the idea of me putting up an antenna or three.luckily I can get away with a 2 meter...

My wife and I live in a condo and I'd like to improve my antenna setup for my SWL. I live on the top floor of a two story condo unit in the far southwest suburbs of Chicago. I have access to the attic which is built out of conventional trusses. My unit, and therefore my attic access is about...

Hi all, I was just wondering what kind of signal difference I might notice by re-orienting my PAR End Pedz SWL antenna. Right now, it's in a sloper config pointing north-south. Would going east-west significantly improve signals in those directions or would it be only a minor improvement...

I would like to know the mode in which Broadcast shortwave signals are transmitted in, beceause I have the Eton/Grundig mini 300PE( http://www.etoncorp.com/product_card/?p_ProductDbId=6289 ). This is basic shortwave receiver but the "41meter" band fully encompasses the 40 meter amateur band...
