I've found the AUX (RX) antenna to work best when a Noise Bridge set to 50 ohms
has been used with an antenna tuner to "resonate" the antenna for the desired
frequency.
For example; I had about 500 feet of "lead-in" wire running on the top rail of
a split rail fence (3 sides of the yard) resonated on 80M. While using a
Butternut 80-40 Vertical to transmit, I could work 4X4 stations on 80M SSB
which could not be heard on the vertical or by other stations in the Midwest.
Best regards,

Subject: [TenTec] Corsair I and separate RX aerial. . .
Hi Y'all,
Been awhile since I've been on this list, but I've got a pressing
question:
Who has used their Corsair [either I or II] with a separate RX aerial
[as might be used on, oh I dunno, 160m in a contest situation like, oh
I dunno, this weekend's Stew Perry TBDC contest], and how did that work
out? Any problems? Any tips/tricks/pitfalls?
Any recommended ways to do it or not do it?
