"Snake" RX Antenna

[Charlie Ocker]

The Snake is basically a length of coax (1/2 to 1 wavelength) laid out
on the ground.  Sometimes it is terminated to match the Z of the coax,
sometimes not.  From what I've heard, it is supposed to be the "poor
man's beverage".

Has anyone actually used one of these things?  I'm looking for comments,
good and bad.

Tnx es 73,
