[Elecraft] OT: Receive noise / ground - NO NOISE

[Ken G Kopp]

The golf course that's adjoins my property lies between me and Japan.

Several years ago, in preparation for a 160M contest, I took one end of
a 5,000 foot spool of #22 telephone frame wire and tied it to a post in the
yard.  I then walked across the snow in the direction of Japan until I came
to the end of the spool, leaving 5000 feet of wire behind me in a straight
line atop the snow.  Worked well as a receiving antenna, but I -did- reel
it in during the day to avoid the snowmobiles. (:-)

73!
