That is normal on many of the older receivers that
were designed for antenna impedences of 300 to 400
ohms.  Using a simple TV type balun often improves
these receivers when using antennas with coax feeds.

For the article that appeared in Electric Radio and
was rewritten for the CRA Journal a couple of months
ago, go to either of the websites that are listed at
the end of this message.

If I connect a coax cable to the ant and clip the long
wire to the center of the other end it cuts the gain
way down?????? In other words just unscrewing the
outer part of the coax from touching the ground the
signal goes back up. Is this normal?
