Hi Roger,
The average dipole really is a good antenna, and you have yours elavated
quite a bit. I would not call it a "poor antenna system" at all... I
only wish I could get mine up 30ft.
I use the Corsair II, a Ham band only receiver. No chance to listen to
SWL here. And yes, I wish I had a Paragon too...
