Did you ever build that helical antenna yet? I'm making another one.

Yes I built one. It works but appears to be very dependent upon having
a good ground.

At the moment all, and I mean everything including the TV antenna, is
down. We are
getting a new roof and I don't want the roofers stumbling over my
precious antennas.

I have a wire ran out the window laying on top of the hedge, sucky but
I have got to have
some RF daily.
