Baghdad Iraq as YI1HD

I just hook it to the gutter anywhere and tune it up. You might want to make sure your gutters are electrically connected and not using the slip connectors. If they are a sheet metal screw in each joint will take care of that. If you want to message me i can talk you through it on the phone.

What about your gutters as the antenna? I did that in the past in a restricted dorm setting. Used the the buildings water pipes as ground. You could lay 130 ft of wire on the ground around the house as a counterpoise.

You need radio meter tuner. That will show you what the radio is looking at. I think that line of tuners are the best value in ham radio. I have carried my Z-100 all over the world with great results.
If you have the room a full wave 80 meter loop with that tuner will let you work anthing you can hear.
