HF from a wire along the ground

This is the worst antenna featured on this website. It's so bad you won't want to make it again.
But you should try it at least once, if only to appreciate all your other antennas.

Here I'm using 20 metres of wire fed at the end with a small antenna coupler.

The first video below involves SSB. The second involves the more efficient WSPR.
