Ionic Fluid Antenna


A friend an I played with a 2 meter saltwater antenna, hell over a decade ago now. It worked rather well. We didn't have it up in the winter so can't speak to freezing. We did have to take the antenna down and shake it up every now and then or the salt would settle...

That was one of many antennas we built just to play around with...

Did I miss something in that plan or is there no resonant frequency mentioned for the build? Looks to me to be little more than a salt water dummy load. I've built those and they work but radiate as well as a dummy load should.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
