Topband: rest wire from beverages still on the cabel reel......

[Greg Zenger]

Frank,
he coil of wire on the end will add an inductance...  and terminating to a
resistor at the other end probably wont make a difference.  Basically you
now have an unterminated beverage. It will be bi-directional and the
receiving angle will be higher.

Maybe instead you can strip some insulation off of the wire and ground
(with resistor) before the coil?  I think I would short the coil just to be
safe so leave the end exposed on the reel as you wind up.  Or just cut the
antenna short and splice repair later.
