Thanks, Timbo... Are you sure you can't elucidate more here? :)Actually, I'm not too worried about multipath... Mainly DX listening. My city is fairly small, so big buildings aren't usually a concern... and I'm mainly listening to a talk station anyway.
Unfortunately, I don't think anyone in town would know anything about matching a whip to the radio... No one, at least here in the US, cares about radio anymore. It's all CDs and satellite radio (which I have but don't like). :(
Bambi, good idea... Would I just use "regular" wire and solder the leads to a motorola male connector to plug in to the radio?
Thanks again to all. :)
