Re: Why so few "random" wire antennas ?

I just throw a 28 1/2 foot wire up on a pole or tree in a sloper configuration, and lay 17 feet or more wire on the ground as a counterpoise. They both connect directly to my G-90, which has no problem tuning it! Works great on multiple bands! ;)

Re: Drone antenna

Heard of a ham who is using a tethered drone to hold up a 33 foot vertical wire in his backyard! He lives in a HOA community, and only uses it at night. Because it is powered from the ground, it can stay a loft for hours! ;)

Re: First QSO's

Were you using just a 28 1/2 foot radiator with a counterpoise?

Re: First QSO's

Amazingly, my first QRP contacts on my G90 in Connecticut, were Bosnia and Italy at 1AM EDT.! ;) PS.. Was just using an indoor end fed!
