Hi everyone:
Just read the messages on this topic in the archive and thought I'd add that
for you guys looking for a DF antenna to go with your vhf AM receivers,
Radio Shack sells a cheap 6 el. yagi that's designed for FM broadcast. I
imagine it will do okay a little higher up. It's $19.95; catalog no.
15-2163. American Science and Surplus sells an ultrasonic receiver kit for
18 or 19 bucks. I have not tried it but the blurb about it mentions hearing
electricity arcing among other things. I've read that one method the pros
have for finding the exact arc qth is through the use of ultrasonic
receivers (except theirs are positioned at the focal points of clear plastic
dishes they can aim). Anyway for the money it might be worth a try. See:

I will ask the RFI reflector guys if they have had any experience using
ultrasonic receivers.
