Default Need help... End-fed, long wire or ????

Ok, maybe that's what I'll do then... So should I use a balun of any kind or
just make a coax connection of my own?

Hi Woody,

Go for it!

It's not like an act of desperation or anything like that. I had a
similar situation (although more options) with an ad-hoc hillside
longwire (same size, height, etc.). It worked like gang-busters.

Which style antenna would be best? Random or folded or ?


Just as you described it. Anything more convoluted is unlikely to
give you more performance.
