Home Radio Road

Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

I don't need gain but I do need directionality, LOTS of hills

Why THE world's lowest pop'n density for a capital city!

the BURNT bush capital, too. Set inside a series of bowl valleys right into the Great Dividing Range & Snowy Mountains

WE are in a tiny little area between two large suburban exposed to the west whence firestorms have been thorugh in 2003 (and from the EAST) and will come again

So, my FM 'tenna is an OLDDDD Tandy/Antennacraft 'wideband VHF yagi' covering Ch's0 to 12 VHF! nice narrow pattern and b'all gain!

There's a VHF phased array for CH7to 9 TV and a band IV uhf long Ygai too. And a longish AM 'random' wire tuned with a fixed tap coil and a vane cap.

One big telecom/restaurant/tourist trap/viewing tower on a BIG hill.

NO rotator made could cope with the (scrounged scrap multi-tube) mast and array!
