Re: [TenTec] Apartment antenna help

[Richard Hemingway <rheming1@sbcglobal.net>]

Hi Al,

I am 78 years old and live in a retirement community.  I have a 
problem with antennas as I have to use one in the apartment.  I am 
using an ISOTRON 20m antenna sitting on the top of the bookcase next 
to my desk.  I am running an Orion on PSK, at about 35 watts. I hear 
pretty good, however, it is hard to make contacts.  I have contacts 
over the last several years from all four coasts, Canada and some 
South American hams.  It isn't efficient, but it works.
I hope your Dad can find a good solution.  My ISOTRON surprises me at 
time.  They also have them for all bands.
Take care,

73,

Dick, N5XRD
