Ray:
I used a "Slinky" antenna running QRP CW from an appartment a while ago.
The one think that's obvious when you start to play with it is that the
tuning changes drastically with even small movements of the Slinky. While
it worked well inside and I worked an amazing array of stations with only
a few watts, I wonder if continual motion of the antenna due to even light
breezes would make it difficult to use outside.

Has anyone use the "Slinky Spring" dipole (CQ - December, 1980)
with the FT817?
If so, comment/criticism appreciated.
