Equipment / SWL Antenna question....
« on: August 21, 2018, 0114 UTC »
I currently run my Grundig 750 with an Alpha Delta SWL Sloper positioned from approximately 90 degrees to 270 degrees. I recently purchased a FRG-7700 and would like to run the Yaesu thru a secondary antenna positioned 90 degrees perpendicular to the Sloper (0 to 180 degrees). I have 2 questions: Can I run both antennas off the same 25 foot mast and (2) will I run the risk of signal cancellation due to the proximity of the radiating elements?
Ok, maybe a third question....would I be better off using a vertical for the FRG at the top of the mast?
I appreciate any help on this, everyone.
Thanks,
Don

Blasting thru +15 @ 01:05 UTC 1 August 18 - 5025 KHZ. Latino music, female vocals then song with male vocals and male announcer intervention.
Wish they would pull the plug so i could attempt to reel in Radio Quillabamba in Peru but with Rebelde directly half-way between RQ and me thats probably never gonna happen.

Magadan, not Magadan Oblast. On the Northern coast of Sea of Okhotsk east of Arman and west of Ola, not the peninsula.
Thanks for the clarification.

Transmitting on 6070 KHZ @ 03:43 17 July 18 (22:43 CDT Local) in English. Standard AM broadcast stuff, political talk, commercial breaks, etc. Everything I could research states they transmit out of Toronto with 1 KHZ.....not a typo, 1 KHZ. This can't be correct, can it??
SINPO: 4-1-1-2-2 .
