Help !!!! Need an External Antenna for My 41-221CL
#1

Being a lover of Philco radios.....but an electronic idiot.....I need some advise on an outside external antenna. My 41-221 is near mint and been electronically restored. It does a great job on AM and ok on the SW band, but I think it would be much better with an outside antenna. My problem is that I don't know how to ground the antenna so that lightening isn't a big problem, (can't use the attic). I've got a couple of hundred feet to work with so space isn't a problem.....but here in Eastern TN, lightening is an issue,( I'm at the base of the Smokey Mountains Natl Park ). Can anyone tell me, or send me a diagram in" laymans terms" on how to install a good outside antenna ?? I've also got an amazing 42-380, but it doesn't seem to need additional help. Thanks so much, Al

That's true. Of course If I were to get a vtvm I'd probably have to sink money in to it to get it working right. Probabl...Stormlord5500 — 08:44 PM
