[Lowfer] 17.8 kHz TACAMO

[KD7JYK DM09]

: I'm having good luck using cable-TV grade RG6/U even though it 75 ohm.
: The radios don't seem to notice the "mismatch" at all.  My longest run is
: from my Beverage antenna, the feed being around 150 feet or so.

No doubt my current antenna is a bit small, but I can only receive signals
below AMBC when I disconnect the co-ax shield, which allows noise
from the shack to get into the receiver.

What I have is a receiver looking for 50 Ohms, 135' of 50 Ohm co-ax to an HF
dipole.  Reception below 500 KHz or so is zilch unless I disconnect the
co-ax and put a piece of paper in the connection to prevent the shell from
touching.  When I do this, I can hear all sorts of signals, quite well from
30 KHz up.
