I'm new to the group and I'm just wondering what kinds of
antennas (length, electrical arrangement) people have used
with a Hallicrafters radio such as the S38 type (or similar).
Has anyone used a loop antenna with a model such as the S38?
A previous owner an S38 radio suggested an untuned long wire antenna,
but a 40 ft length of wire seemed to cause a lot of overloading
on mine.
Also, AM is quite noisy (probably local noise) below 800 kHz with
a long wire.
I'm interested in details like lengths and / or electrical
arrangements (dipole,sloper, etc.) that have been used.
I'd welcome hearing anyone's shortwave and AM listening experiences
with a S38 model.
Thanks
