I decided to get into monitoring DX on the 520 khz to 1710 khz AM BCB & the 88 MHz to 108 MHz FM band, must I use RG-6U 75 ohm coax cable with f connectors to connect my receiver to a 102" whip for AM & a 58" j-pole for FM or will RG-8X do?
You mean the Justice twin coil? Yeah it does you're right-I never tried the direct hookup to my stereo..been using it on the Ray Jefferson RDF radio out in the kitchen (yeah I got a 'kitchen shack' sort of) and it actually is fun tooAh, but does it has a twisted pair of wires that can connect to the binding posts on that stereo? Seriously, though, I've heard several good things about that antenna. And here's another one that does have the twisted wires - I gave mine away (for charity) at a recent Winterfest, but it too should work well - and it's inexpensive...
best regards...Mike
