The best antenna I've ever had is an 18-gauge, enamelled wire, going
from the kitchen window, up to a pole on the house chimney, and then
horizontal to a pole at the other end of the overgrown-with-weeds back
garden.

It is unbeatable.

Did you enamel the wire before - or after - you put it up ?

Weeds are not essential; cactus is essential.

Ah, I think I understand. You're using a phased ow!ray system there
in the foreground, right?

.... although maybe those needles are for corona discharge purposes ...

refer to previous threads: time doesn't really exist because its only a
measure of movement.
so my question also had no meaning - (for the time (?) being)

I would think so; any decent antenna is ugly as hell.

.... actually, I buy the 1000' foot spools of #8... anyone needs ground
wire--I got it... grin

Interesting you should say that, Wife had a meeting tonight and supper was
to be catch as catch can. She got home a bit early and put a stew together.
I contributed a batch of cornbread. The combination was gooooood!

Congrats on the upgrade. I view mine as a "license to learn".

Absolutely correct, I'm aware of my state of ignorance and amazed that I
managed to pass the tests that have elevated my status in
Hamdom. I am sorry that I was 72 by the time I achieved this level,
it's gonna' limit the time I have left to learn.(G) Well, it's gonna' limit
the amount of climbing I'm willing to do on antenna work, at least.
