THANKS Jay ! By the way; the AMRAD works nice.Im surprised how quiet it is
for a broadband antenna.However Id like to mount it a little further from
the trees. That's hard to do here though.Right now its 6ft off the ground
but at the edge of the woods.The furthest I can get it from a tree is 30ft.I
wonder how much loss I get because of the trees?I can probably make up for
it with a pre-amp. I just finished your 10khz-20 mhz preamp using 2n3866 .I
had to use the next size up in pot core size; its all I had.I am real happy
with it; I get 20db+ gain and its noise free!

                   Thanks
                            Rick

I'll grab my list of received stations when I'm home at noon and post it.
