[CW] OT but Interesting. Cobweb Antenna

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Off topic for the CW Reflector, but since even CW ops need antennas and
some have trouble with space, I found this excellently done article about
the cobweb antenna popular in the UK.

I don't know about the pure copper multi-strand audio cable - audio folks
have been trying to say that pure copper is much better for 30 years and I
have laughed at them since then.  Maybe on RF the multi-strand works - like
Litz wire does.

Here's the link without further comments except to say it's not a beam but
a omni directional horizontal full size dipole that is folded.
This one works all the HF bands from 20 meters and down.
