[time-nuts] FS700 antenna

I am using a wire antenna with an Advanced Receiver Research 
preamplifier, battery at the antenna, RG6 feed line to the shack,
a Austron 2084 RF multicoupler (multifilter), and then the dummy antenna 
adapter to the FS700.

With the hot signals you should have, a simple wire antenna and the 
dummy antenna adapter should suffice.
