|    need FM antenna help    |
|    22 Aug 11 20:34:57    |
      From: footboarder@bresnan.net              I cannot get the local station '91.3' (25 miles distance in mountainous       terrain.       I can receive it fine in my auto 30 feet away from my Sony 'GX5ESII'       receiver, where I can only get it by holding two 20ga. doorbell wires in a       certain position, with the mass of my body necessary to achieve this.       My Sony has two FM antenna plugs (300 ohm and 75 ohm) but I can only get any       reception at all on the 300 ohm I'm using.       Years ago a friend told me to use a dipole but he didn't know the       dimensions.       Would I best use a coaxial from the receiver to the dipole junction?       I sure would appreciate any help as the only radio I now enjoy (old age) is       NPR.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
