I made a nice one up a number of years ago and really wasn't impressed
with it.
Stuck with the wires.

A friend of mine and his son made one, and the drop in noise level was
huge. When he moved and had more room, he made a bigger one, and put
both of them up. His R8A and R8B's were awsome on them. I wish I had one
of my receivers to compare them to the day I was out there.
I wish I had the room for one, but I don't have enough room to make one
big enough to be worth all the work making it. I'll just have to settle
for my 3 medium sized Windom dipoles and one sloper. And the backup
ramdom wire in the attic.
I miss my slinky "longwire", it was awesome! It was only 5 years old
when it "died"...sniff. Gotta throw another one up when it's time to
replace one of the dipoles...
One antenna that I don't miss is the nearly worthless Sony AN1 active
antenna. That one was a stinker..and expensive.
