[Elecraft] Antenna query

[Charles Greene]

GM,

I have a portable antenna with 42' wire.  It is fed with 7' of 
RG-8X.  The ground of the coax  goes to a 8' counterpoise and the 
other end is soldered to the antenna.  You run the coax through a 
window and the antenna and counterpoise are outside.  the orientation 
of the counterpoise is not critical.
