Default Short Antennae

Anyway, do it whatever way you want.. There won't be enough difference
to worry about as long as it's tuned.


Ok. That works for me. Incidentally, is there any worth to the idea of
using an intact degaussing coli hoiked from some old CRT? Could it be easy
enough to tune that with small external modification, to make a tuned loop?
They're very durable (usually tightly wrapped with some resinous fabric
tape), easily stowed, and the ability to grab both 'sides', twist half a
turn, lay one bight on to the other to form a doubled loop, might also be
helpful in rapidly coercing one into usefulness.

A tad off-topic for Gareth's intent I know, but it IS a short antenna, if it
works...
