Hi Ron,
Ok, I will be glad to do that, now which one is that? Is that the Alpha 1?
I'm sorry I can't remember the name of it!

You might want to add the no-counterpoise antenna I've described to your
list as well. The price is right and It Should work pretty well, hanging in
free space.

Hi all,
Well folks, I'm finally on my anual vacation, no clocks to care about = what
time it is, do what I want kind of vacation!
Anyway, as all of you know, I'm trying to get back on the air on hf!
So many things to say!
I've been up all night, I'm so excited, antenna ideas in my head!
Anyway, after I get the rig and power supply up and running, time to put =
up the antenna on my 22 feet 5 inch balcony!
The antennas I'm trying will be the following:
1. First, I've got a ballon, and it's a wire ballon, so, I'll hook the =
coax up to the wire ballon, plugging it into the coax connecter on the =
ballon.
2. Next, I'm gonna hook up a piece of copper wire, to the wire post on = the
ballon, and get it outside, and throw the copper wire over the = balcony,
and let it swing in the breeze!
3. I'll then try to tune it with my mfj949E antenna tuner, listening for =
loudest noise to tune it.
Now I know you all like something more to tune it, like a noise bridge, =
right? Have any of you tryed the mfj noise bridges, that's all that's = out
there!
2. Now, if that antenna doesn't work, then, I'm gonna go with a snake =
antenna. It's just apiece of coax plugged into the antenna tuner and the =
other end will be hanging off my balcony!

3. Now, if that antenna doesn't work, this antenna is incredible, the =

4. Now, if that antenna doesn't work, I'm getting a dipole that will fit =
on this 22 foot 5 inch balcony!
So, folks, give me your thoughts, whatever they may be!
73, and I'm going to bed for a few hours, if I can sleep, hi hi!
Trippy, ac8s
