[TenTec] OT: Indoor antenna

[Alan Pike]

John:
Not sure how much space indoors you have?  This antenna is a nice one and requires around 60 feet, but I imagine you could bend the ends if needed?
I have used this antenna in  a number of locations and it works well especially 40 thru 10.  You will need a tuner.  It is a variation on the W5GI Mystery Antenna, but a lot shorter.
Good luck.
