Hey Gary,
?
My antenna is a simple 75' end-fed thin-wire with a 9:1 unun.? It is not the greatest antenna, but it will produce results if I put the right radio on it.
?
I earned my first license (Novice - Morse Code!) license back in the late 80s.? I purchased a Yaesu FT-757GX2, but never pushed the mic button even once - I never put up an antenna capable of transmitting - only receiving.? I sold the dusty Yaesu a few years ago (yea, I probably should have kept it).? Now that I am retired, I am ready to get back into some simple long distance receiving of commercial broadcasts (yes, the same stuff available easily and cheaply and clearly on the internet).? Do not waste your time trying to understand me - my wife has been struggling with that for years!
?
My service equipment is a short list: A good temperature-controlled soldering iron and a few simple volt / ohm meters.? I will never build rockets on my bench, but I can handle circuit boards.
?
And, yes, I suspect that you are correct.? I need to fix the 2B, sell it, and find a different LW / MW partner.
