My record is 6 miles on 80 meters with a six inch wire end loaded with a soda
can (too young at the time to get a beer can easily).


Big mistake - beer cans help, if for no other reason, it makes it easier
to lie about the results after emptying said can.

But isn't it true that you really can get on the air with anything?
Sure, you won't win DX contests with a 6" wire, but if you really want
to get on the air, you can.

Woo-hoo! I think I will get on 80 CW right now. See ya!
