At the risk of being redundant here is a link to a presentation given at the New Jersey antique Radio Club, I found this well done and wish I was as good a presenter......

With antennas I have always tried to be simple. I have connected the antenna lead from a Stromberg Carlson 430M to a radiator in my house and had super results. That is something to do for fun and cannot stay on permanently. Antenna work can be very interesting and experimenting makes me realize again why Radio is fun. Need to always keep in mind lightning, falling from trees, etc............I do not go up on trees or the roof any longer.
