      CK>Okay all, have a question about long wire antennas. What is a safe length wh       CK>will not load my radio down causing harm. I have a Sony portable. It does ha       CK>an antenna jack but I would likely clip to top of existing antenna. In addit       CK>is there a certain configuration of antenna that would work best. Anyone hav       CK>any experiance. I saw an article regarding the use of a 'UNUN' balin, wonder       CK>if this is needed.              For SWL there is no such a thing as too much antenna. Yuo are trying to       capture distant signals so the more the better.       For as longwire no balin is required since you wil be cliping it to the       built in antenna.       ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ Typo Tom strikes agaoin        * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 And Still Here.
