[Antennas] Antenna for Local Use

[AI4WM]

I've had an 80 dipole with the ends bent around the house to make nearly a
loop up about 20 feet for over 10 years and still work DX.  I use an old
Matchbox and window line to near where the feed enters the shack and coax
through the wall to the ATU.  I don't work the WARC bands with the
Matchbox, but I can with a homebrew coupler I made.  A G5RV will work too
if you are not going to use it on 80 meters.
