Secure your Straps. That's the tip.
Also, you don't need to carry the whole roll of Duct Tape when finished, I am well aware. You can take a portion of duct tape and wrap it around a lighter or a pen or something.

This is just a quick example or three of how you can determine what ratio End Fed Half Wave antenna you have.
It's as easy as Turns Squared!
This is useful for a few different reasons.. "My End Fed isn't working". You then look at it and realize the EFHW was made with a large number of turns missing.
Or maybe you have a practical application or reason for a 49:1 over something like a 64:1. I don't know, but I can show you how to tell.
Enjoy!
