My 28-ga insulated wire stealth antenna sagged 8 feet from the ice which
made it look "fat" like a 12-ga wire! If the antenna sagged another four
feet, the apartment below me would have easily noticed my stealth
antenna. The antenna "assumed its normal position" Sunday afternoon
after the ice melted.


Yaesu FT-897 transceiver operated at 5 watts into an ICE-LOADED 5-MHz
OCF 28-gauge insulated wire stealth antenna up 40 feet in trees next to
I-75 in downtown Atlanta industrial area. SGC SG-211 MiniSmartuner
balanced mode. Tigertronics SignaLink SL-1 sound card radio interface.
MicroHAM USB rig interface. WriteLog 10.52f with RTTYrite.
