[ARC5] Antenna for small yard

[AKLDGUY .]

It does not need to be a good HF antenna. I'm only interested in putting a
signal into a WebSDR receiver that is at the Musick Point radio clubrooms,
about 2 miles across the harbour from me. AM net members will be able to
log in to the WebSDR site and listen to me. Similarly, I do not yet need a
receiver, since I can also go to the WebSDR site. In fact, I use its
S-meter to watch for my signal when tuning up (barely visible signal so far
due to bad antenna match).
