[Elecraft] Miniature self-supporting HF antennas

[Dale Putnam]

Used to be a fellow that owned and operated motel in a small town in Ne.
He was in a fringe area for tv.. and didn't want to have the guests bothered with
anything more than just the fringe (noise and snow) reception on all but one tv channnel.
SO.. his ham antenna was alternatively the 2nd story window screen (metal), and the bed springs, on the second floor.
Yes.. they worked better with a good ground. He didn't contest, so it was a manual tuner. And it worked 
right nice. No one knew... but the fellows he talked to.. and after 6 - 8 months of chatter.. he might let you know what 
his antenna was. 
Neat guy! Nifty antenna!

Have a great day,
