[Hallicrafters] Re: An AM antenna

[RJB]

Bill... for years i have used an alpha-delta sloper (the 60ft version from
Universal Radio), with the feeder end at about 25ft and the other end at
about 10ft. I also live near Puget Sound (Maple Valley WA) and can hear
trans-pacific MW DX with this antenna and one or other boatanchor (I usually
use an HQ-180 with digital readout)

I like the antenna so much i recently bought a second one, and am mounting
it at 90degrees to the original. Eventually i hope couple them through a
phaser, probably a Quantum.

These antennas also work up a storm on the commercial HF bands. My guess is
that the SX-71 should be as hot as the HQ-180, if you can figure out how to
get the front end aligned on MW :-)

hope this helps
