[Antennas] Optimal longwire for QRP

Mon, 13 May 2002 09:46:54 -0700

Now, if what you are talking about is what some Americans call "bungie" 
cords then I always have couple in the boot.  But I do remember pictures of 
some cars with belts on the hood running parallel to the win'screen.

Do you put the shock cords in parallel to give better weigth distrubution 
or as a saftey precausion as the cords deteriate in the sun and rain?
