Single wire antenna has stray voltage- solved
#11

I am considering the rework of my long wire antenna,, and have a selector switch installed because even though i dont see an issue now,, doesnt mean what ive been told should be ignored, im sure there are good experineces to warrant a switch,, lightning for one is something that would bring both sets into one commmon point taking them out.

my switch is on/off/on for two sets on a rotary able to pick up to 8 contacts,,, something spare i had lying around.

what i want to know is with a single wire antenna, has anyone made the "VERY TOP" of the long wire adjustable 360deg as to point it?

before i start in on something i want to compare whats been done so i dont spin my wheels and waste time.


for some reason the cap i was told to add reduced volume capability
