I crawled up into the attic this weekend and installed a dipole antenna tuned for an HF receiver. The antenna was the easy part — fishing the wires down through the walls takes the patience of a saint!

Seems to be working. Because I did this over the weekend I wasn’t able to try and tune in the CW transmissions from W1AW, but I was able to listen to news from England (horse racing from somewhere — kind of funny to listen to because their terminology is different).
