How would you classify this antenna besides being a work of modern art ??? LOL. There has got to be a reason behind it's performance. That is called "anecdotal evidence." Any input would be appreciate. In short.. What the heck is it ??? -- Respectfully, Michael Hi Michael, It's a lot of wire that probably catches as many birds as DX. I am surprised 30 or 40 turns around the chimney weren't added as a loading coil. I also bet that 3/4ths of the wire could have been snipped off to no more than 1dB (the hearing acuity of a pre-teen) difference. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
