Philco 84 antenna connection
#2

I've used a single long wire up as high as possible and away obstacles. The gnd can be connected to a copper water pipe if your domicile doesn't use pvc pipe. Don't know that a loop would work very well w/this sell as it doesn't have a lot of gain.

From where I am I can pick stations up in CA and down in the Carolinas w/o a problem.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
