Work 8 bands with one antenna: Ares End Fed Random Wire Antenna.

Michael Martens (KB9VBR) specializes in POTA (Parks On The Air) expeditions to test new HF antennas in the "field."

In this video, Michael assembles and tests the "Ares End Fed Random Wire (non-resonant antenna)."

Construction and deployment of this end fed wire antenna are simple and should be no obstacle for those willing to experiment with antennas.

The folks are Coffee and Ham Radio did it again! This time with their Ares End Fed random wire (non-resonant) antenna. What’s a random wire antenna and why would you want one? Let’s talk about that as we put this antenna together. Coffee and Ham Radio (CaHR) Ares Random Wire End Fed antenna: https://coffee-and-ham-radios.square.... CaHR Ares Build Instructions: https://github.com/TemporarilyOffline... Random Wire Antenna Lengths: https://udel.edu/~mm/ham/randomWire/ Optimal lengths of random wire antennas: https://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/techn...

Return postage not necessary, but always appreciated. As they say, KB9VBR is 'good in the book. ===================== Minnesota Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup 1 cup wild rice 4 slices bacon 1 large yellow onion diced 2 large celery stalks diced 2 large carrots diced 1 pound mushrooms sliced 2 cloves garlic 1 tsp oregano 2 tbsp butter 3 tbsp flour 1 cup white wine 1 bay leaf 2 tsp rosemary 4 cups chicken stock 1 cup heavy cream 1 tbsp vinegar salt and pepper In a separate pot add wild rice and 1 tsp salt to 2 cups boiling water.

Remove to paper towel. Add vegetables to bacon fat and saute until onions are translucent 3-5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for additional 15-20 minutes until they develop a deep brown color. Add butter, when melted add flour and oregano and stir until thickened. Add wine to deglaze pot. Add chicken stock, bay leaf, and rosemary. Cook for 20 minutes. Add wild rice, heavy cream and simmer for another 10-15 minutes. Add vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Serve with crackers.
