Well I just took a piece of speaker wire and split it about 6 ft, the station is 107.5 so i fugured I had it covered.

Now it's just occurred to me why to use the 300 om instead of just a copper wire,, picks up the wave twice? but why not twist the bare ends together?? and make a loop of it? and why is the last inch exposed on the 300om wire in the instructions??

Geeze I love this place ... TechIMO.
