Good evening Yerodin,

You see, I'm not a radio technical, and I wanted something easy but efficient.
So I tried things that where easy, without even soldering the wires, it works...
And it is soft, no PVC pipe, so I can put in my suitcase when travelling. That
was part of my spec.

I will try the "Snake-in-the-attic" antenna at home in the coming weeks... Same
: piece of wire, no balun, no soldering, "no nothing" ;-)
(see newsgroup article for the antenna design, search google, I don't have the
reference here).

Hope you will succeed,

Charly
