Hi guys,

First, wanted to let you know that after playing around with the filter
settings, the KAF2 is working really well.  I was listening to a signal on
14043.00 that was pretty weak.  I then turned on AF2 and the signal just
popped out of the noise!  Wow!  Did not know you could do that without DSP.
(Looks like I will keep the money for a DSP or use it for something else
HI!)

Anyway, the real reason for this email is to find some good information on a
receiving antenna.  I have been wanting to build one (I think there was some
loop based antennas out there you can build pretty cheap).  The main reason
is for 160/80 Meters.  However, if I can get other bands to work will be
fine as well.  I want to make use of that nifty receive antenna connector on
the back :)  Plus, to get better reception on the low bands.

Also, is there anything I can build to listen to MF waves with the K2 (like
a converter)? This is so that I can do some MF DXing with NDB's.

Thanks es 73!
