[Lowfer] Can I expect to receive ....

[WD8ARZ]

Hello Pat, appreciate the advice. Will look into that.

I use that antenna for transmitting on now 1.8 Mhz - 54mhz and of course 
I have to match it to 52 ohms. However I know going below 500 khz I will 
have to use a different tuner than what I normally use.

If you all are also on the LF group, I did get the photo to display with 
my email there.
