This is what we would prefer. Need an acre to build it on!
The actual antenna is a single wire. It looks like a capacitor up to 1/4 wavelength.
So Daves antenna is about 1/4 wavelength. (little reactance)
Our antenna is very short and presents a lot of reactance.
Assuming C2 is the antenna reactance we lose a lot of signal. The radio may be top notch but is deaf because it ears are not in tune. So, what to do?
By adding L1 C1 we get our signal delivered to the radio input.
So 2 2 word answers - loading coil - antenna tuner.
The well loaded - tuned - neutralized input soars.
Next post the radio and possible additional circuit.
