[TenTec] OT: Indoor antenna

Interesting philosophical question.
 

 Mine was "random" because I didn't measure it.  The length was determined by my physical endurance.  In the case of a carefully-measured wire, "random" may not be the best moniker.  Probably "long wire" is more accurate.

At what point does it cease to be "random"?
