At first I thought it was a joke. At the peak of the solar cycle you could make a contact with a wet noodle. Ha Ha Ha, sure... and then I got to thinking, would it be possible to make a contact with a wet noodle?
Only one way to find out, put it to the test!
WaveTalkers host W6AH puts a Capellini Pasta Antenna, an IC-705 , and an AH-705 to the test. This antenna is not going to win a DX contest by any stretch of the imagination. But the results are awesome.
Big thanks to the WaveTalkers Supporters for sending in the audio clips for the montage. Huge thanks to N6REK for helping to make this contact possible.
