The Hacktenna was built by the Ham Radio hackers on the 1st of June 2013. Sadly it died in a violent encounter with a large vehicle formerly used for public mass transport. This information is for reference.


It is a random length wire (with random length being around 20m) hanging about 1m above the fence, and insulated from the transmission line by a ferrite choke with five loops of wire. The antenna can be easily tuned with an ATU in most HF bands.
