Weingards are quality units, with R-6 coax providing the feed. Units connected throughout the years have mostly been receivers. Fishers, Marantz, Sony's 6800SD, & now a Sansui 9090. There's a station from Nevada City, KVMR 89.5 mhz, which now has spotty reception throughout Sactown. That 9090 receives it flawlessly. Via Dolby F.M., Berkeley's KPFA sounds like it did before KNCO started co-channel interferring by transferring to 94.1 mhz a few years back. Station proliferation has been a dx impedance, also. San Mateo's KCSM 91.1 mhz signal was quite clear here, until KXPR started broadcasting on 90.9 mhz in the early 90s. On occasion, can get KCSM via Grundig's portable Yacht Boy 400 by de-tuning to 91.15 mhz. Hell, shortwave reception has been da pits since the local school bus barn constructed a mini-super tower, spitting out even more harmonic spurs throughout the r.f. spectrum. Damn digital broadcast modes! Receiver or tuner determines quality of received signal more so than antenna, given properly aimed polarity . Unfortunately, all that r.f.i. noise comes in damn near S-9 nowadaze! 73s from Sactown!!!
