What large antenna works best for a crystal radio?
Im running what looks like a giant square with an X that connects the corners. Roughly 50'x20', with a copper cable that runs to the ground and is connected to a piece of rebar thats pounded 3' in the ground.
Ive found i actually have better reception with JUST the ground hooked up to where the antenna should be. Ive no idea why this is going on.
An uncle said the box with an X in it was a great antenna for crystal radios, but apparently its not working for me or for this location.
Im running the antenna between the house and garage, so ive a decent size place to make a large one.
Which antennas have you had the best experience with?
