Thanks for the information, Bernard.  In the past, I've used assorted 
lengths of copper wire for my antennas.  Back in the 1960s, I had a 150 foot 
wire strung out in all directions for my Hallicrafters S38E.  But, RTTY and 
FAX signals seem to do better with a long wire than with an active antenna 
like I am using now.  Your info does help.  Happy Monitoring...Brian.
