Default "Arnie Coro Antenna"

You can look up Arnie's website on Google, go there, and read for
yourself what Arnie's idea of an antenna is. The poster is pulling a
fast one.


Arnie Coro's website does discuss the item described.

He doesn't claim it works well (nor should he).

At one point he describes burying it to stealth it. When I was moving an
antenna, I had both dipole elements laying on the ground but still
connected. Just for laughs, I tuned it up. I could hear a few other people
but nobody could hear me. I think burying an HF antenna should be followed
by a shopping trip for some writing paper and stamps. You'll need 'em.
