[HCDX] listing new antenna

[Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

yesterday and today I put together a low-budget T2FD antenna
from 30 meters of wire, a TV balun (careful, not all types work
ok for shortwave!), 3 1k-ohm resistors in parallel and some
amount of plastic pipe for the spreaders ...

... the result has been an amazing improvement over my previous
antenna, here are some of the logs for today, using a Sony 7600G
and the home-brew T2FD from Curitiba in the south of Brazil:
