[Lowfer] lowFER - EAR on extended antenna

[Andy - KU4XR]

Very nice signal tonite from " EAR " ... Extended my antenna
about 130 feet this afternoon.. The extra leg is connected to
the short side of the windom.. As expected, it drastically
altered the tuning.. Much less Inductance needed to resonate.
The extra leg is at a right angle to the short leg, and running
to the back side of my property.. It is 20 feet AGL at the
connection point, and droops to about 10 feet AGL in the middle,
then up to about 15 feet AGL at the insulator.. I just hand tossed
a small rope across a low limb.. An easy to un-do experiment if
it proves to be detrimental in the long run..
