Hi all,
Thanks for the jokes and the help.
My antenna is a copper wire about 65 feet long between the eaves of my house and an old wood power pole. (no power, anymore). I am using a germainium 1N34 diode, an old 365pF tuner cap, and many different coils. The only thing I'm not sure of is the actual impedance of my headphones. I only have a DMM to measure it across the phone plug. I'm sure that's not a very accurate way to measure them, but I get about 1.8kohms.
So, if anyone has anything else to add, I'm certainly listening now that I've pulled my head out of Ur......no, no, no, NO! That's just not right! Whatever! I meant to say I'm listening. Thanks.
