No See Um Antennas underground antenna
See ARRL Antenna Compendium Vol 5
W7JGM, tells of his experiences using a buried long wire antenna. He compared it to high inverted V and he reported that most of the time the signal strength was close to the same. He did report that when the ground got wet his signal dropped. Regardless After reading KM5KG's web page describing buried dipole dummy loads, i will keep my coax and copper in the air! But hey Diamond and Comet sell vertical antennas with resistors in them and users report good results. Performance is indeed in the mind of the user. Pat |

It is basically a wire run on the ground. Not great but does claim to have low angle radiation. Buck N4pgw -- 73 for now Buck N4PGW |

.... or should it be called "No Hear Um Antennas"? |
