Re: [IRCA] Talking House Antenna
I've heard them before too. I figured it would go well with what I'm doing at school and give us something else to "play" with.

> I remember a set-up similar to what your are describing. There was a house here in Billings that had a set-up with info available via your car radio. I think they used 1610 as the transmitting frequency. The antenna set-up could be seen from the car. It was a long-wire strung from the two far points on the roof. I'm not sure what the power level was but it didn't get out much beyond about a block away. I do remember however, being a DX nut back then too, being able to pick them up at times from my house which was about 4.5 blocks by air from that house. It's kind of funny. Whenever I drive by that house now, I still think of the mini radio station that was once set-up there. For $50, I would grab it quick. If it was anything like that set-up, it's well worth the 50 bucks.
