[Hallicrafters] Re: An AM antenna

[Bill Krause]

Interestingly that is one of the setups I am using. My son set it up for 
me and it sure looks like he did a poor job of setting up the smaller of 
the two main wires(sorry I don't recall the terminology at the 
moment-the one without traps that rub parallel to the longer one with 
traps) It is not evenly spaced and looks pretty crummy. I am going to 
take it down this Summer and see if I can properly set it up, not sure 
if that will make any kind of difference. Thanks for getting back to me, 
I appreciate having a semi local reference. By the way I am in Concrete 
up on the North Cascades Highway.
