My first antenna was a Gotham V-80 Vertical. Basically a 24 foot aluminum
pipe with a 3" coil 4" long on the bottom.
Whoopee ! It even worked on 7.163, the only crystal I had for my DX 35 as
a novice LOL

*Where Do I Go from Here?**
*Okay so you got your ticket and passed the tech exam as your entry into
the world of amateur radio, soooooo are you bored yet? Hope not, because
we are finally seeing some sunspots which allow your new voice
privileges to be explored on 10 meters as opposed to the two meter stuff
that might not be quite what you were hoping for. *BUT* if you have
ventured into the next step and got your General ticket, I would like to
give you a basic guideline on your HF antenna possibilities and perhaps
answer a few questions along the way.
