I use a pennant antenna and a Wellbrook 1530 loop with a reasonable degree of success -- although when I get to DX from a rural location, there certainly is a difference, especially on the tropical bands! There's a web page devoted to flag and pennant antennas at http://www.angelfire.com/md/k3ky/page37.html . It has complete information on how to build them and variations that people have tried in search of better DX. I have put a Radioworks line isolator on mine, followed by a DX Engineering broadband amplifier, and it works great. The Wellbrook loop is more expensive, but it can be well worth it. I've found that it many situations it gives the pennant a run for the money, and it doesn't require any trees or ladder climbing, just a sturdy support. It's also plug-and-play, which is important for those who aren't technically inclined. It's also more flexible, in that you can readily rotate it to see if you can null out some particularly obnoxious local noise. If you mount it on a rotor, you can even do that from the comfort of your own shack.

I suppose that was a bit of Wantok FM, which they occasionally keep relaying all-night, but not lately. All the while with lots of splash from 5025 R. Rebelde, Cuba, especially during music.

Apparently station owner thinx it`s more important to keep attacking the ``corrupt`` Democratic political establishment in St. Clair county IL (Belleville, etc.) than to obey federal rules. Bob Romanik, ``The Grim Reaper of Radio`` is closing his ``radical`` rantshow with thunder SFX, calling his political enemies SOBs, bastards. 0604 UT ``They`re coming to take me away, ha ha``; Jekyll/Hyde ID as First Amendment Radio/Killer Kountry, and into C&W music.

Most likely REL format is KMRF Marshfield MO, 5 kW daytimer, St Louis market; or maybe 250-watt daytimer KCTX Childress TX which per last year`s NRC AM Log is partly religious (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 4845, Aug 6 at 1204, JBA carrier, much weaker than 4835 Australia, now that WWCR has signed off 4840.

Its seems the Wellbrook 1530+ would be a good choice for me. John mentioned a GAP HEAR IT - In Line Module would be a good investment too. I think I will go with the Wellbrook as a start. One other question, the antenna connector on the R75 is PL-259 connector and the Wellbrook a 50 ohm BNC connector, are these the same? If not, is there an adapter? Or where could I order a specific length of coax with the correct connectors at each end? Thanks again, you are all so kind to answer with your own experiences and good advice!

Days ago I published this news about the station: "Due to the mail I have received from LRA 36 saying that this station will return to the air on 27th July, I am trying, since then, to pick up this station all days between 1950 and 2020 UTC, the best slot time to received it here in the North West of Spain, but I heard nothing, only one day I got a very weak carrier on 15.476.0 during five or six minutes. Yesterday, I sent a new e-mail to the station, asking if they really are now on air, and here is the answer: ?Estimado Manuel, la transmisi?n ya comenz? la semana pasada, y es mas, tuvimos un informe de reception desde Taranto-Italia. Atte. Sergio Lucero?". They confirm that the transmission began past week and they had had a reception report from Taranto-Italy." About this news, I have received e-mail from Antonello Napolitano, Taranto-Italy denying he had heard LRA36 recently.? Here is his e-mail: "Dear Manuel, There is a big misunderstanding in the message you received from LRA36, Radio Nacional Arcangel San Gabriel. The "Informe de recepcion" "desde Taranto-Italia" was sent from under-signed on 24th July 2015 but it wasn't a recent reception report but just a follow-up about a very old reception occurred on 30th March 1999 which has remained unanswered all the time. Just to avoid any kind of discussion, I am attaching picture of "Respuesta de Radio Nacional Arcangel San Gabriel recibida el 30 de marzo de 1999" in other words the e-mail I received just from Sergio Lucero from which is quite evident that I didn't sent a reception report about recent transmissions, which also I tried to catch but, unfortunately, without any success! Just for sake of good order it should be mentioned that the e-mail from Sergio Lucero was including a doc file showing a picture of Base Antartica Esperanza and the following text: "Estimado Se?or Antonio Napolitano:Tenemos el agrado de saludarlo y agradecerle las molestias que se ha tomado y el tiempo que ha dedicado para la escucha de nuestra Emisora radial ?LRA 36 Arc?ngel San Gabriel?. Desde el Continente Blanco ?ANTARTIDA ARGENTINA? le damos un cordial saludo y un enorme agradecimiento por sus molestias. Atte: Tcnl Fernando Gabriel ESTEVEZ ? Jefe de base Esperanza/Director de LRA 36. Sarg 1ro Sergio Alejandro LUCERO ? Encargado de la Emisora LRA 36/Operador T?cnico". Last but not least I didn't divulged any information about that e-mail correspondence between LRA36 and the undersigned because, in my opinion, their E-mail and file.doc attachement are not a true QSL. Antonio Napolitano Taranto Italy DXer as from 1981" And my reply: "Dear Antonello: Thank you very much for your mail. Looks like the station staff are absolutely lost and don't know what happen in their station. I think, despite Lucero says, LRA36 is not on air now, no report from anything and I have good conditions to catch it here, but nothing all days. In the winter months LRA36 was on air a lot of days, but I think not now. Greetings from Spain" And reply from Antonello: "I agree with you 100%. They acknowledged my follow up but forgot to verify it (and that would not be impossible if log station was no more available as I attached a recording). They said to you they got a report from Italy for a recent transmission and instead it was a follow up for a transmission of 1999! I think you are right: They never went back on air on 27th July 2015 as planned! Saludos desde Taranto en el Sur de Italia Antonello (Officially Antonio!)

To go from the power supply that comes with the Wellbrook out to the antenna itself, you'll want a length of coax with a BNC at each end. The short length of coax that is supplied with the Wellbrook and runs from the power supply to your receiver will need an adapter. If there's still a Radio Shack in business in your area, they probably sell the adapter.
