A friend and I made the windam, 43 feet on the one end and 93 feet on
the long end, with a oblong plastic piece about 6b inches long for
the center. The plastick has an oblong hole for the later line to go
through, two screws for the later line to hook up to 12 gauge wire,
and then a couple of inches towards the outside of the plastic two
more screws holding the wire so that it won't put any strain on the
later line. It then is hooked to 2 trees with pulleys, so I can let
the antenna down if I have to. The later line hooks to a 4 to 1
balum, and then has coax going to the shack.
Kind of a home brew windam.
I hope that explains the antenna.
If i didn't make it clear enough, let me know. I did unhook the auto
tuner, and I still heard RF. I will try grounding the mike tomorrow.
We went to the county fare this afternoon with my cousin, and ate
more "junk food" than we should and looked at old tractors, and
demolition cars, I never knew what some of those machines looked like
and how big they were, or how they set up the cars to run in the demo durbys.
A little off topick, but it was interesting.
