We took about 70 feet of incandescent Christmas lights, and strung them to an EFHW 5:1 balun. This was a really fun way to celebrate the holidays while experimenting on the radio. The lights would only light about 35 feet or so on 80 meters. Looks like I only needed one set. May set them up for a live-stream via FT8 before Christmas.
