[TowerTalk] End Fed W8JK

[George, W2VJN]

The end fed vertical 8JK is a simple and very effective antenna.
I had one for 40 meters hung from a tree years ago.  The ends
were brought together and voltage fed directly with a balanced
antenna tuner.  The voltages are very high and safety precautions
are necessary.

This antenna provided my first ever JA contacts from the east
coast with low power.
