I have many “where did it come from” antennas. Many pass me downs and several cobbled together from wire, random things that work as insulators, and old pieces of coax that the labeling has faded off. But I’m not selling them and if they work for me why replace them with something expensive, highly raved about and that turns out to be no better than what I built from others pass me downs or “Junk”!
Of course Harry Potter flying ovver and dropping the DXing Dust on my small antenna farm has really helped!!!!!
See you in the IARU contest….
