I'm taking my K2/10 to a school on Wednesday to do a demonstration. I
have a 10m fiberglass pole, and my plan is to hook a wire to it and
either lean it against something or bungee-cord tie it to a bike rack or
whatever is there. I will deploy a counterpoise wire on the ground.
Given that it is the middle of the day, I will probably try 20 or 17m,
or maybe 15 if it sounds good.
My question is: what is a good length for the wire that will slope from
the pole to my K2, and what is a good length for the counterpoise? The
K2 has the internal tuner of course. The pole doesn't have to be fully
extended.
I intend to say "imagine that there is an earthquake and we are cut off,
phones don't work, etc. Watch how quickly I expand this pole and get on
the air (etc.)"
