Hello All!
It would interest me no end if everyone who is receiving longwave to kindly post just what type of antennas you are using! I'd assume that some are using a beverage of some sort?
Even if you do not listen to longwave, post what type of antenna and feedline you use please, and any other particulars you'd care to share...
I have the Willco board installed in my ICOM R 71-A and my frequency display tunes down to 0.008.5khz. I have a 75' copper wire "loop" that I have hung in the rafters of the garage. I have a 10' stretch of Belden #8267, RG 213/U that ties from the antenna into the 71-A.
I usually hear some buzzing and clicking sounds but I am never sure as to just what I am listening to. Am I just hearing QRM/N? What should I be listening for?
Is there a good website or a book that I could purchase to learn more about the "history and the mystery" of this often neglected area of the radio spectrum?
