That was easy. Completed 28.5' ultra light and 28.5' counterpoise with 26 AWG Stealth Wire. With my Bicycle activations, the lighter the better, the less space even better.

The winter projects have begun. Never had any success with and 9:1 unun. Going to try again. So far things looking up. Now for the correct wire length for 80 - 10 meters with counterpoise. 🤞
