Default Phase Shift through a 75m Texas Bugcatcher Coil

For instance, the net average current through a
hamstick coil is enough to burn your hand even
after the power has been shut off.

I've always had it in the back of my mind to
install a 16'x6' piece of hardware cloth at
12.5 ft above ground above my GMC pickup,
supported by fiberglass poles. I would mount
the loading coil about a foot below the top
hat. I'll bet that would win any 75m mobile
antenna shootout.

Have you been designing and setting up antennas out at Area 51, again?

ROFLOL!!!
