Balcony antenna HF (Long Wire)

Antenna for HF long wire (reception only) 1-30 Mhz (low cost and not very visible). I used about 17 meters of electrical braid with a diameter of 1.5 mm, first creating a coil with 50 turns. Then I extended the electric wire as shown in the pictures and added a 9:1 balun (special thanks to Giovanni IT9TZZ) + EMI noise filter to power my notebook (windows 7 + sw HDSDR). I am very satisfied with the reception of this antenna. Here are the real tests carried out with SDR (10kHz to 1GHz SDR Receiver Compatible with RSP HF AM FM SSB CW ).
