In Reply to: RE: What sort of antennas are you using? posted by jcmusic on March 28, 2019 at 05:41:17
with DTV HD and SD, view-on-line, and two FM and two AM networks. No ads except for station promos.It's only 7 miles away, but this is a hilly city, so a tight pattern is vital. ? Canberra. I live between two large hills, and the signal passes several on its way. The other station has two transmitters. It's secondary is real close to the side and rear of us, and it comes in clean on this valve tuna!
And I feed four FM leads with it, individual runs from inside the loft to all three FM stages. Another FM stage is on the cards.
One of which needs to be driven hard. It's FM stage used to be mono, as it was once a simulcast rcvr, valve front-ends and mono outputs. It is now heavily modified.
i) It's MPX and output stage are SS and big MFPP opt caps for the deep bass, which ABC Classic can deliver.
ii) The two AM stages now form one wide audio-bandwidth stage. This used to be fed by a random wire about 80 ft long (to a neighbour's chimney) into a 'varicap & coil' antenna-tuner, thence into the AM stage. I will be buying a remotely tuned & powered, shielded-coil type AM antenna on the mast, real soon now, and mount it on that same mast.
iii) Its PP 6BM8 stereo output stages are OFF for now, so this tuna has a big PSU. One day, I plan to take the OPTs out and have a small stereo PP amp built with a new PT and LCLC PSU, and 4 new noval sockets. I'll probably remove the phono stage and anything else then.
The DTV antenna is for Band III VHF and is pointed at the same tall tower.

Nice Tim, I am using the old FM 6 antenna. Where I live it is all flat as a board, so stations are easy to pull in. My Kenwood tuna pulls in stations from 60 and 90 miles on a regular basis weather permitting.
to use for that, plus any amount of cathedrals, choirs, chamber orchestras, and etc to record.
One of the smaller (but expandable) groups is the Australian Haydn Ensemble who the ABC have issued recordings of. The CD they used to persuade them, was by me! Back when I was recording for our local 'community FM station'.

They are sometimes broadcast by the ABC, but so far only as live recordings and extracts from the CDs.
All the female musicians are babes, to boot! And, they do HIP.*
Trisha and I first met them, on their first concert tour, here in Canberra. I'd been given free tickets by Artsound and that was the beginning of great friendships. Late Summer and wet, and sticky so they were re-tuning* between movements.
