[Elecraft] [k3] OT - Antenna for apartment use

[Oliver Johns]

Hi Dave,

Good luck with it.  Two comments only:  (1) Indoor antennas work well enough IF the house is wood frame without any chicken-wire-supported stucco facing.  Also, if you have concrete walls, the rebar kills you.  Either chicken wire or rebar makes a Faraday cage, keeping radiation from entering and exiting.  (2) Whips beat loops.

73,
