[GCARC] I like EFHW Wire Antennas

[Tony Starr]

I agree with Chris.  My 80M dipole has several crimped splices in it, left
over from the days when I used trees for end supports.  Since I switched to
poles made from wood or fiberglass, I have had no more broken wires.  But
the splices are still good, some 5 years on.
