I've just deleted all messages, past and present, now unretrievable,
from all newsgroups, including this one.

The best antenna I've ever had is an 18-gauge, enamelled wire, going
from the kitchen window, up to a pole on the house chimney, and then
horizontal to a pole at the other end of the overgrown-with-weeds back
garden.

It is unbeatable.

Did you enamel the wire before - or after - you put it up ?
