You've got it good! Right now I've got no antenna at all. I'm away from home for about 15 months, living in an 11x15 foot room. It's basically the equivalent of a small hotel room. It's on the 3rd floor and has a window, but no balcony. It's probably not a great idea to string wire out the window (it's military barracks). I should be able to get away with attaching stuff to the walls. So - any antenna suggestions? Preferably something inexpensive and easy to build as I have almost no tools here. Some ideas I've been thinking about are a random wire (using the tuner), a homebrew buddipole, perhaps a magnetic loop to stick by the window, or a shortened vertical. The rig is a K2/100, and I do have a MFJ tuner if I need it. All suggestions gratefully accepted! -- 73, Brian VE7NGR _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
