Clever! Was it just capacitively coupled to the main radiator or bare wire
or what?
Yes, it was bare wire of the "silky"variety - very flexible. I installed
small metal pulleys at the top and bottom of the vertical to avoid
wearing out the wire and dacron cord. I also considered a small
remote gearhead driving motor to make the length adjustment
but never implemented it. I originally got the pulley idea from the
"clothesline antenna" in one of the ham publications.
