A few people have asked about my somewhat scraggly looking antenna that
appears in some videos.Â* This antenna started off as nice commercial end
fed used at home, but ended up being used for portable work.Â* Over the
years is has suffered as a result of being pull up into trees, getting
tangled, being pulled down, thrown in the car etc, and some running repair
have been necessary.Â* It looks very haggard, but it works a treat even
helping win a contest or two.Â* I made a video to help explain how it is
held together and some of the things I have learnt and incorporated into
its design.

Hello, and I'm somehow reminded of the story of Willie Nelson's guitar,
"Trigger";-) Sincerely, and 73s from N4GGO,
