[AMRadio] Antenna's..

[Rbethman]

Group,

I've got one of the Multi-Band Alpha Delta's up, and have had for about 
8+ years.

For my Apache it is fine, it receives DARN good on my R-390A and 
SP-600.  I've even gotten 6mtr on it with the SP-600.  NO "tuner".

I've run my TS-930 SAT, my DX-60 with an Amp Supply LK-500Z, AND my 
BC-610 and T-213.

The ONLY problem that has cropped up is the BC-610 & T-213.  Neither of 
them wants ANYTHING to do with the inductor in the 80/40 element.  It is 
NOT a trap!  I suppose if it was a trap, those old "Beasts" MIGHT work 
with it too!

QSOs from here in Virginia to NY, PA, NJ, SC, NC, FL, & MI.

He said it worked like a charm. A local fellow had the same experiance I had with it. I think it may have something to do with the type of ground it is OVER, along with hight, dipole or V, etc... No expert here, but when I talk to folks that are in much more damp environs than us here in dry central California, they confirm much better S/N ratios and ease of tuning out of resonance wire antennas. Then again I may be all wet (no pun intended).
