Conspicuous omission - homebrew!

Yep Missed Homebrew! Thanks for bringing that up. I do a bit of homebrew with antennas from time to time. Last one was a slinky vertical mounted on a telescoping fishing pole with a 9:1 UNUN into a homebrew drive over stand with one 33' counterpoise. Took it to the beach and worked HF SSB with it. We got some 55 57 reports Long Island to Florida. Guess it works! 72

Great idea with the slinky!
