Michael,
Those are some of the things that I've heard too. I don't know if I could
use the random wire idea as I don't have much of a ground as although I'm on
the main floor of my ouse, there is a distance of about 25' before I could
get to an earth ground. Should I have any RFI problems I'll probably try to
use some type of a counterpoise. I'd like to have an earth ground but from
what I've read, my ground wire might turn out to be another antenna!
Thank you Michael,
Kent

close I use 450 ohm window line and wouldn=92t go back to coax for an =
hf antenna for anything. Going from coax to laser line was the single =
biggest improvement I have ever seen when you want to use one antenna on =
multiple bands. it also offers the advantage of being able to use a =
random wire tuner an feed both legs tied together as the random wire =
against a good ground for bands that you can=92t do well in a standard =
dipole configuration. They cal that a marconi, and it can often be =
effective if you want to run 160 meters on an 80 meter dipole.. = Ovioulsy
it is a compromise, but sometimes a compromise is better than = nothing :)
