Howard,
I bought a slinky antenna (the larger one that can do 160)at Dayton this
yearbut have not had a chance to try it yet. If I remember, it is only
necessary to stretch it out to about 35 to 40 feet. You need to string a
rope through the center to support the coils. If it is stretched out much
further, it will not collapse back to its normal shape.
I have also read mixed reviews on this type of antenna but I am anxious to
try it.
