[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 982254, member: 325666"] Nice one CH .. Well ..It feels good to go back in time .. Last time I had a decent antenna fof SW LF and VLF was back in the 70s .. Got my 20mtr long wire up this morning .. It runs from the corner of my house to a tree at the back of my dads ... It has a balun in a box ..and optional Earth connection ...which I have also connected to what looks like an old gas main connection sunk into the ground in the back yard ...[ATTACH=full]96590[/ATTACH] The wire itself is multicore plastic sleeved steel ....and terminates with a supplied insulator ...the loop end curly type ... This I have connected to an old chest expander spring I had lying around ...the other end of the spring fastened to the tree trunk.. The idea being as the wind blows ..and the tree sways ...the spring will adjust the antenna tension ... Here are a few pix ...hope you can see the antenna clearly .. rgds Time Travelling VS [/QUOTE]
