[Elecraft] indoor portable antenna (mp1 or equivalent)

Thu Dec 19 17:00:01 2002

Hi Gary,

To support the temporary indoor antenna,  a camera tripod can be used.  An
adapter can be made from heavy aluminum or wood to hold a clamp and then the
antenna pole can go from floor to ceiling.  One for a vertical, two for a
horizontal antenna.

Also, there are some 8 foot poles with springs in them that you press
against the ceiling and bring them to a vertical position.  They can be used
to hold small potted plants for decoration. The spring tension holds them
quite firmly between the floor and ceiling. They might work by themselves
for a vertical antenna if you can make good connections between the
sections, otherwise you could tape a piece of heavy wire to the pole for a
vertical.
