[TenTec] Corsair I and separate RX aerial. . .

[GARY HUBER]

I've found the AUX (RX) antenna to work best when a Noise Bridge set to 50 ohms has been used with an antenna tuner to "resonate" the antenna for the desired frequency.

For example; I had about 500 feet of "lead-in" wire running on the top rail of a split rail fence (3 sides of the yard) resonated on 80M. While using a Butternut 80-40 Vertical to transmit, I could work 4X4 stations on 80M SSB which could not be heard on the vertical or by other stations in the Midwest.



Best regards,

  Hi Y'all,

  Been awhile since I've been on this list, but I've got a pressing
  question:

  Who has used their Corsair [either I or II] with a separate RX aerial
  [as might be used on, oh I dunno, 160m in a contest situation like, oh
  I dunno, this weekend's Stew Perry TBDC contest], and how did that work
  out?  Any problems?  Any tips/tricks/pitfalls?

  Any recommended ways to do it or not do it?
