[Elecraft] ridge vent as antenna?

[Craig D. Smith]

Your idea sounds promising, Ray.   I haven't used a ridge vent, but my
current main stealth antenna is a piece of wire lying directly on the roof
shingles along the roof ridge.  I was concerned about the effects of
rain/snow, but that hasn't been a problem.  My wire is insulated, but
occasionally gets completely buried in snow.  Other than an occasional
slight re-tuning from my ATU, seems to work equally well "wet or dry".
Since you are using a remote ATU, I'd definitely give it a try.
