STATION = Yaesu FT-857 to MFJ-969 tuner then to antenna(s)
ANTENNAS: INDOOR = 14MHZ dipole wrapped around the inside ceiling of a
9x12 room,
OUTDOOR = Kind of a dipole - "hot' leg consisted of a 100ft
wire wrapped around tree branches then strung over
15ft high to another tree around its branches.
The other leg was a 50ft chunk of RG59, with about
15ft strung through branches, and the rest in a
coil.
The center was made from a TV 2port splitter case
and was fed with 150ft of RG6.
(This antenna was put up in Minnesota, in January
with temps below zero, and because snow on roof
was effecting indoor antenna, and needed longer wire
for low bands.)
PORTABLE = 14MHZ whip (from 1970s), mounted on 1x2 board and hung
on top step of rear ladder on motorhome. Car jumper cable
was used to connect ground side to frame of motorhome.
ANTENNA = 14Mhz dipole wrapped around inside ceiling of 9' x 12' room
