[Elecraft] Beam antenna question

[Ted Edwards W3TB]

Years ago in grad school I strung antenna of 22 gauge green enameled bell
wire, and it was so hard to see that I would go outside and look up to see
it against the sky to check it before operating.   Even I couldn't see
it... only ran 150 watts on it.
