Ok now, I'm in my infancy in terms of shortwave and receivers, it's even worst when it comes to antenna.
I own an Icom R-9000 (surprising, isn't it and would like to have the best antenna possible.
At the present time, I have an approx. a 107 feet simple longwire, nothing more. Should I buy one ? Should I improve mine ? I don't even have an antenna tuner, and not sure what "end fed" really means...
My antenna is kinda 100 feet long and 30 feet high on one side going west, and about 7 feet on the other side on my door, going east. The junction between those two being above my door. So it's some kind of a "T", but disproportionate on the western side.
There is so much technical terms involved that I did not assimilate yet.....I feel lost in a see of infos....help
Thanks,
Matt
