Question B-006-012-002

What is one disadvantage of a random wire antenna?

Correct Answer

You may experience RF feedback in your station

Random wire antennas are non-resonant and present a very wide range of impedances. This makes matching difficult and increases the likelihood of RF currents flowing back into the shack on the coax shield or via ground, causing feedback (RFI).
