    Off Center Dipole...

    There is nothing like building your own antennas and to have the bragging right to say so, I built my own ocf dipoles for 160 meters as well as one for 6 to 75/80 meters and if you get the lengths right they will not require a tuner for most of the bands, my worse swr is on 15 or 17 meters is...

    new to me 66v

    I can't speak for the Connex, but I can say that the 66v is a good solid AM/FM radio and I still have one from my truck driving days, that with a 250 fet will talk pretty good, it all depends on your antenna.
