Has anyone had any working experience wih the Latton antenna. Made from a
singel piece of TV feed line and can work all HF bands. Sounds too easy and
good to be true.
Tnx in advance de WA2EAW..Bob


I've got one rolled up in my shack -- used to use it but went to other
things after a while. The performance was not bad, but making one that
is strong enough to span any distance is difficult. I had to run a piece
of nylone cord through the dielectric, threaded in and out.

Another chum, now a sient key, used one for years and seemed happy with
it.

The spelling is Lattin, and you can find it on the net through Google.
