Hi,

thanks for watching my little movie. This antennas I build by myself. I sell some of it. This antenna you can see I use as an "Reference Antenna" to access my other ones I am building. I an further video ( I will upload it in the next minutes ) you can see my efforts to build a "allround home antenna" in order to sell it. If you´re interessted in plans or ideas to build one, simply drop me a line... kind regards, a happy new year, Klaus

Really nice and clean design. At first when i asked , i didn't realised you were actually selling those. Then i checked your website. :)

Happy new year to you and your family!

@vener6 Ohh also i just brought back to life my old Grundig Fleetwood 97 tube radio from 1959. =)

I briefly tried it with a long wire antenna and it's very sensitive on SW.

The EL84 tube in it was shorted , i will slowly re-cap it now that it's working fine. I made a small video of it on my channel if it's of any interest to you.

@vener6 Wow, a great job. I have some radios build in the 1930 in my cellar too... Somebody has to encourage me to recap this radios too ;-)) Yes, I am very interessted to watch the video about your Grundig. I like old radios much, they have a great history....

Nice meter!! :)

I'd love to make an antenna like your's.Do you have any schematics for it? You made it yourself or you bought it ?

I just aligned my FRG-7 last week for better performance, very nice receiver, it use a 50 feet dipole on the rooftop at the moment..
