I had a #dremmittbrown moment this morning. "It works" with my #randomlengthwireantenna made of 26 AWG ultralight Stealth wire from #dxengineering. Right out of the gate 1st #pota #parksontheair #QSO with Rob #wc1n 28.5' radiator with 28.5' counterpoise Tuned 1.1:1 with #z817 #autotuner on 40,30,20,17,15,12 and 10 meters. It's a keeper. #amateurradio #hamradio #cwoperator #morsecode

That was easy. Completed 28.5' ultra light #diyantenna #randomlengthwireantenna and 28.5' counterpoise with 26 AWG Stealth Wire. With my Bicycle #hamradio #amateurradio #pota #parksontheair activations, the lighter the better, the less space even better.
