GM,
I have a portable antenna with 42' wire. It is fed with 7' of
RG-8X. The ground of the coax goes to a 8' counterpoise and the
other end is soldered to the antenna. You run the coax through a
window and the antenna and counterpoise are outside. the orientation
of the counterpoise is not critical.
