Does anyone know what the heck this thing is ??? How would you classify
this antenna besides being a work of modern art ??? LOL. There has got to
be a reason behind it's performance.
That is called "anecdotal evidence."
Any input would be appreciate.
In short.. What the heck is it ???

Hi Michael,
It's a lot of wire that probably catches as many birds as DX. I am
surprised 30 or 40 turns around the chimney weren't added as a loading
coil. I also bet that 3/4ths of the wire could have been snipped off
to no more than 1dB (the hearing acuity of a pre-teen) difference.
