One of the pleasures of portable operation is the large antenna you can use. At home I am restricted by space as to the size of my HF antenna for the LF bands.

 

I attach a 41M long wire to my kite and via static bleed resistor of 1M Ohm it is connected to my CG3000 antenna wire tuner. I use two 50M wires as a counter poise and the chassis of my car as an artificial earth. The static bleed resistor is very important to save yourself from a possible shock and your equipment from damage.
