I'm new to Radio. I'm studying for my level 1 exam. I have a Kenwood 440-S and I'm looking for an All Purpose type of Antenna to start listening with. Can anyone recommend a particular antenna and a place to start? Thank you, Joe Grosso Muncy, Pa |

Hi Joe, I'd suggest visiting this page. http://www.arrl.org/antennas You may not need much for listening, if you live in a wood framed house--10 or 15 ft of hookup wire plugged into the antenna socket of the rig and run up to the ceiling can pick up a surprising number of signals when the bands are good. For just this purpose, I have some hookup wire soldered to the center pin of a PL-259 connector. Zack Lau W1VT ARRL Senior Lab Engineer |

Thank you Zack I purchased a dipole antenna and I'm planning to erect it in an inverted V and give it a try. |
