i am thinking about being up on the top floor of the Edgewater Resort,
Rarotonga looking out the hotel window and thinking: a shortened half
square, the vertical wire goes down to the bottom of the building and has
a two short (60 feet each) horizontal wires for cap loading; the horiz
goes out 260 feet to another vertical wire ending up in two more
horizontal wires, using the W4RNL shortened half square technique.

in fact, with any degree of luck i could construct 3 such antennas, one
for 160, 80, and 40, and have all the bands i plan to operate covered

tune the antenna at the corner, link coupled to my HW16

any comments?
