Garret 1415,

Sorry that the "Geo Cities . Com" website is gone
and the Link/URL is no longer any good.

Presently the INFO on the Portable Wire Antenna [PWA]
can be found at "Reo Cities .Com"

Portable Wire Antenna [PWA] -by- Tom Sevart [N2UHC]http://www.reocities.com/n2uhc/portablewire.html

The full description of the Portable Wire Antenna
[PWA] is there.

- However the Image/Drawing/Photo of the *Portable
- Wire Antenna [PWA] does not come-up for me.

Besides Wire for the Antenna Wire Element : You
will need a Plastic Tube to wrap some of the Wire
around. *I found that one of the larger Pet Store
chains " PetCo, PetsMart, PetClub, PetLand, etc...
Has clear Plastic Tubing in the Fish/Aquarium section.
1st find something round like a pencil, pen that is
as large around or slightly larger than the thickest
part of your Radio's Whip Antenna to use as a
Sizing Gauge to select your Plastic Tubing.
2nd go to the Store and select your Tubing.
3rd follow the instructions/directions/guidance at :

*IF* You are just using a short/small 15~25 Foot
Portable Wire Antenna [PWA] Indoors {In-the-Room}
with a 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio running
on batteries : Then a 'Ground' should not be needed.

However -if- You are using a longer/bigger 30~45 Foot
Portable Wire Antenna [PWA] Outdoors {Out-Side}
with a 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio using an
AC-to-DC Adapter : Then a 'Ground' Wire should be
used with the PWA Antenna and Radio for Safety.

hope this helps - iane ~ RHF
