I'm thinking about purchasing a Degen TG39 antenna off of eBay:
I'd like to be able to use it with something like a Philco 90 or 16 with only a connection point in the back for antenna and ground. I don't really have room outside to run a long wire. And yes, I know it is fairly easy to fabricate your own loop antenna but I need something that is a little less conspicuous (to keep the wifey happy). I also don't have a ton of time to fabricate one and I'd rather spend what little time I do have for this hobby actually working on radios.
About 11" across. A little pricey but again I just don't have the time to build my own loop. It has two posts that I assume I can run wires from the antenna and ground connections on my radios.
What are the opinions on the TG39?
Thanks,
Geoff
