Once alligator clipped the guard rail on the Sunrise Hiway (Mt Laguna)
to a Sony 2010, got lots of HF noise, great 160m and AMBCB signals.


Yeah, I was thinking of the lowfer bands!

Was just playing a little "mind game", with the question, what metal
objects haven't I tried as an antenna ... railroad tracks came to mind.
