thanks for a very informative post, i've often wondered about using
the copper plate i use for a lightning ground as an rf ground. but
tell me, with the long wire, do you catch any fish?
ok, no hook, do the birds leave it alone?

cheers

While fooling around with sea anchors for it, trying to get it submerged,
not flying on the surface, but with some tension on it to straighten it
out, I used the bottom of a beer can. (Hey, we got lots of them.)

"Something" fell in love with my shiny can bottom and made off with the can
bottom and about 30' of wire, where it broke. If you see a whale with a
trailing wire antenna, he's my guy....(c;
