    Hey Phoobar,
    I just went out and picked up the last 365 days of mail from the hub :)

    I've tuned up gutters as antennas in HOA's that don't allow antennas :)
    That speaker wire will make a great beverage antenna!

    They actually did that on "Quantum Leap". As long as you can find a place to put the wire...must've been better than the ones who are running wires around their walls to do the same thing.

    Been using that with the MP-1 SuperAntenna as the legs. Even got 1 of the 30'+/- feet being used with my home built EndFed.

    Am considering running this 50'spool of 18 ga as a long wire by splitting
    each side & soldering both ends together with a piece of shrink wrap to cover it to even use it outside eventually. Would also need to buy the long
    wire balun for my LDG Z100 tuner.
