I just wanted to share the results an antenna experiment I did tonight.
In
the rain, no less.

The antenna was simple. 300 feet of solid core 20 gauge copper wire. I
ran
it from the 500 ohm connector of my R-75, out of the shack and all the
way
into the back yard. The yard extends about 200 feet, so I had to double
the
wire back in the direction of the shack for 100 feet.


I used a similar solution with my roof wire. It is folded in a unique
manner. It is debatable whether or not that half the length of the 200'
receiving wire is nulled out because of the way it is folded.
