RHF Says - My "EveryMans" Shortwave Listening (SWL) Antenna :
* Low Noise Inverted "L" Antenna - a la John Doty
* Laid-Out : East (Bottom Tip) to West (Far End)
* 15 Foot Vertical-Up-Leg with a 30 Foot Horizontal-Out-Arm
* Wire Antenna Element = 50 Strands of #41 Litz Wire = 20 AWG
* TV 'type' 300 Ohm to 75 Ohm Matching Transformer
* RG6 Quad-Shield Coax Cable Feed-in-Line about 25 Feet Long
RHF Says - My AM/MW Antenna is a Kiwa AM/MW Air Core Loop Antenna
PORTABLE WHIP ANTENNA TIP
For a back of the Receiver "Whip" Antenna for your 'portable'
Radio Operations with your Kenwood R-5000 Receiver consider
the Miracle Whip Antenna.

QUESTIONS FOR EVERYONE TO CONSIDER AND COMMENT ON :
So... Lets Hear What Kind Of Wire You Got In The Air ? ? ?
Do You Have Separate Antennas for Shortwave and AM/MW
Radio Listening ? ? ?
What Antennas have you tried in the Past ? ? ?
