KA0UNB and his stealth antenna [WAS #49, Nebraska]

The other day I proudly update you on 49th state worked QRP with my G40. This morning I got an email from Phil which I just have to share with you: there is NO excuse for not getting on air, even if you live in antenna-restricted environment.

Hello Nick!

 

Your card is on the way I stopped by my local post office and mailed it today.

I was using a little more transmit power about 25 watts but used my house downspout drain pipe as a stealth antenna.

A picture is worth a thousand words they say so attached is a photo of me standing next to the downspout with my hand on it.

 

 

Hope to work you again on other bands!

 

THANKS!

 

73,

 

Phil / KA0UNB
