I built a 20 meter Rhombic out across a farm one time, pointed at the S
Pacific. It worked fantastic, but you couldn't keep it aloft for long in
the storms. It also was a great "etherial power source". Any thunderstorm
within 10 miles would induce amazing voltages on its wires!

Can you say "EMP", without cursing this time?
