I think my strangest antenna was when I connected wires from my tuner

My strangest was a six meter dipole buried about a foot underground. I
worked one station about ten miles away.

About a week later I received my WAE award. (Worked All Earthworms).

How did you wind up with a dipole buried underground? Were you trying
to make a resonant dummy load?
