General Radio Discussion / My Antenna ?
« on: July 23, 2013, 1450 UTC »
Hey guys, What's happening ? Just thought i'd pop in quickly and get a rundown on my equipment from some folks here, that are much more experienced than me when it comes to SW/HF DXing and TXing. So ill list my current set up.
1 x Grundig Satellit 750 AM/FM/SW Radio w/ SW loop antenna
1 x Regulated 24V 60AMP delta communications power supply (can run 3 HF radios)
1 x Digitech 80 channel UHF CB radio w/ 2 feed UHF-2-BNC adapter (therefore running 2 UHF antennas @ 477mhz 5DBi gain)
1 x ICOM 718 HF Transceiver (plugged into power supply, obviously) running 2 feed UHF-2-BNC adapter w/ one 25-29mHz base antenna and the other antenna is a 330 feet longwire antenna using standard RG58 COAX cable. (striped and soldered) now the question i have is 1. What do you think of my current setup? and 2. is a 330 foot antenna made of this cable [ http://goo.gl/5WvRBV ]
going to do ok ?
Cheers guys.
Sincerely, Dash Bronzehand.
