Hi ive seen this somewhere else and thought i would try it today, finaly some nice weather and wanted to fix some antenna stuff, so what I meen is that you use CATV Cable, that i allready knew however i am commenting on using the center lead only to a random antenna.

A gold star to the Signal Hunter.⭐ Most everyone else just ends up making it too complicated.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge as i quit learning after my husband passed. I really enjoyed listening to what he tuned in.

I know you did this years ago but I did one years ago on how to fix a printer problum and I still have people thanking me for making it. I want to say thank you. I've watch a bunch of videos and read but they get off fast to things I don't have a clue about. I just got my little radio a week ago with a book to read but I just wanted to be able to setup something to use my new shinny radio fast and learn as I go. I heard long wire and toss it into a tree and your ready to go. I did that and got a bunch of people talking but I can't understand what they are saying. So I was getting like forget it till I read my book and was bummed I couldn't really use the radio unless it was coming in very strong. I'll try what you say ASAP. thanks

Got so happy getting my china rigs. That my sister sat and called me nuts.. i went to the wallyworld and got a bolt of cloth...then made baggs for my radios. For the bags that carry the antenna and even mats to set my radios. No unun though i use 3 cut to 1/4 wave antenna then carry my antennas i choose. Salute, via con dios, chow, and avedahouen.

i liked the little coil that you used to enhance the antennas capability

Signal hunter I learn lot from you about how to tack cair your shortwave receiver and antennas for shortwave receivers my friend

I know you will never even come across this nothing comment from me a year after you made this video. But I need to say to you it was as if I was somehow led here to this. I have been in Hospitals and Bed at home for over 4 1/2 years now. I had 4 bullet & shrapnel wounds from my time in the US Marine Corps in War that finally got the best of me. I am going to be 70 in Feb 2019 IF I last that long...

Signal hunter your shortwave receivers are awesome my friend

dear DX collegue Brian, I am handicaped and my wife does all activity for me, but I want to congratulate you for a fine video which is short and exact. This UNun is easy to build and very easy to understand. So we all DX-ers have to say: "Thank you!" , best wishes from Klaus

I appreciate the no nonsense practical advice.

You can eve use a ROUND brush from the Home Depot/Lowes store, or a new makeup brush to dust your stuff, and get the dust pout of the crevices.

love the NO B/S approach to this video, informative and clear without heaps of technical speak, learned more in a few minutes here than 20 or more on other videos, thanks

I have a PL600 RX using a 10m wire.

Thank You so much for this!! I had a stoke and have decided to take up shortwave in my retirement to keep my brain active! But, trying to get over the noise I was getting on my Grundig and get (what I believed) was a decent aerial, all I got on KZfaq was mumbo jumbo malarkey and technical crap that almost left me at a point. where I was almost about to give up on my new found hobby! Finally I found your video that a) made sense b) that I could understand and c) gave me inspiration and impetus to continue ''having a go' and know this is all within my (now diminished) capabilities! So thank you very much my good sir!

Thank you! I was starting to wonder if I had found the right hobby with all the techno gabble out there! You have restored my faith in shortwave listening in one short video. Thank you! Subscribed.

I have four sw radios and thank you for saying what to use to keep them looking new and cleen. Also I found the tips on your advice on random wire antennas very helpful.

Signal hunter your utube videos are awesome my friend

If you are still reading comments.. I have looked far and wide for an answer on optimal length for a random wire antenna. All sites go into diagrams, charts, technical aspects, and formulas.. which if I knew what they were talking about, I would already know the length of wire for an antenna.

Simple straight to the point no bs video.
