[Elecraft] K3 - Indoor HF Antenna

[John Ragle]

Chuck...

I have a Buddipole that works inside (20/15/10 meters), and I suspect a 
half-wave wire dipole or a 300-ohm twin-lead folded dipole would work 
well if tacked to the room molding at ceiling height. I have used both 
of the latter in compromised situations and have had QSOs without 
problems (on CW). Even a random length wire tossed out the window will 
work if you have a matching network. All my experience in these 
situations has been on CW.

The Buddipole will also make up into a 2-element yagi for 6 meters, and 
there is some occasional CW activity there also.
