[Elecraft] The "Kinda Random Antenna"

[Bill Frantz]

Just recently, I was testing an 80W 2M amplifier into a dummy 
load. I noticed that anytime I send a signal into it, it 
triggered the local repeater. (I changed frequencies.) However, 
I can work the local repeater from my living room with a HT set 
at 100 mW, so it doesn't take much.

Now if I could only contact the contest and DX stations with 
this little antenna and power.
