Subject: [TowerTalk] Loading up my rain gutters:-)
>
> Hi All,
>
> As a temporary multi-band antenna, to get me through until spring when I
can
> put up a small tower, I'm planning to use a tuner to load up the gutters
> [and trim] on my house. I live in a two story house on a small hill, and
> the house has 4 downspouts, one on each corner. Between the downspouts,
> running all the way around the eaves of the house, is an aluminum trim the
> gutters are attached to. I figure the circumference is around 150 feet,
and
> the peak of the house is probably around 25 feet.
>
> I've read about doing this a few times, and even talked to a few stations
> that were doing it, but I've never tried it before myself. Anyone have
any
> tips or suggestions?

> Thanks,
