Hi,

I use a slinky antenna made from 4 or 5 slinkys. I have it strung from
tree to tree at an average height of 5 feet. I transform its high
impedance with a 9:1 torroid so it is an appx match for my 50 Ohm input
receivers.

I've had it in use in Minnesota winters and summers, for about 4 years and
it is holding up well.

Most of the time it compares favorably to my DX-A antenna and I use it from
BC through 20 Meters.

Easy and cheap.

Greetings,

I would like to hear from (ON THE LIST) anyone currently using a slinky
antenna, either homebrew or the commercial variety.

Just tell me how you use it, on what bands, etc.

Thanks in advance. Let's say we cut the thread off at, say 10^4, responses.
