Default HF random wire antenna

Hi,

I have limited space for a HF antenna, so I built a random wire antenna.

The instructions I found (in Finnish):
http://koti.mbnet.fi/takamaa/tiedost...%20baluuni.JPG

I wound the balun and bought 20 m wire. Then, OH1NT, an older ham,
adviced me that 40 m wire would be better for 80 m band. So I hung up 40
meters of wire.

So far I have received good reports at least from European stations. I
look forward to DX QSO's.

Here's my blog entries on the subject (sorry, in Finnish):
