<<<By the way, my very first antenna for 80 meters was a Fuchs
antenna, also known as an end-fed Hertz. If you have the
Radio Handbook 15th edition that antenna is on page 426,
right next to the Zepp antennas. Some names just don't
stick.>>>
the End fed Hertz! have not heard that name in years. When my family lived
in the country back in the 1970s and we had room, I had an end fed hertz.
At least, that's what I called it; it may not have really been one. It was
a long random length of wire that came directly into the shack where I
tuned it with an L network. I used it on 80 and 40 and it was okay as i
only ran about 50 w. on cw. On 20 m. it became the more exotic sounding
"long wire" but that was probably a misnomer too.
