[Elecraft] K3: Indoor antennas at Dayton?

[Elliot Blaize Jr.]

I didn't see the intial post.  Several years back I used to regularly 
work eastern Europe QRP with a Heathkit 5 watter on 20 CW around 
0500-0600 GMT.  This used a 22' piece of hookup wire tacked in the 
corner of the drywall and the ceiling running along the length of the 
bedroom and excess thru the bathroom doorway to an attachment point in 
bathroom.  It was very surprising how much DX I worked every night.
It can be done when conditions are right.

This past fall from Thanksgiving to new years I worked Les W8YCM/6Y5 
nearly every day when he was on vacation in Jamaica, several times with 
a YAESU FT-817 ND barefoot and a Buddipole dipole 9 feet off the ground.

It can be done with low power and a somewhat compromised antenna when 
conditions are limited.

73,
