[AMRadio] Antennas for AM (was Legal limit AM amplifier, homebrew)

[Rob Atkinson]

Okay Jim, weill I won't be on in the morning, except maybe early on
Saturdays, because during the week I have to get in to the job at 7
a.m.  If the stuff gets here in a few days and the wx cooperates maybe
I'll be able to get the L back up but operating time is another
matter.   I have a compromise ground system of 101 radials made with
no. 14 solid of wildly varying lengths.  I usually listen with a small
rx loop.  I have had QSOs on 160 out west to Bill KD0HG in Colo., and
Dave W6PSS in KC.   Recently I worked a fellow out somewhere in
Colorado running a temporary portable station while traveling back to
Ohio from B.C.  The L should have a slight amount of gain to the
southwest because the horizontal part runs northeast.  I think I have
fairly good ground conductivity being near a riverbank.
