[CW] Receiver RF Gain

[Richard Knoppow]

   I am curious about the meaning of "alligator station", maybe 
Oz land slang. Does it mean something that will bite you? I also 
would like titles.
    Grounds are funny. KFBK, a 50KW broadcast station in 
Sacramento runs a directional antenna with segmented half wave 
balanced dipoles. No ground system because it isn't necessary. 
This is for RF, I am sure they have lightening protection 
grounds. Some modern antenna books describe this kind of antenna 
which would appear to have advantages for HF as well as MF.
    Antennas are fascinating and far from trivial to understand. 
Anytime I think I am getting smart I look at an antenna theory 
book, grounds me for sure.
