    Hmm, I always set my spacing to give a 12.5 ohm impedance where the 12.5 ohms was transformed to 50 ohms by using as the driven element a folded dipole with a wire spacing that multiplied the 12.5 by 4. This turned out to be common speaker wire. As far as being flimsy wire, it was taped to dowels similar to the fiberglass rods. Any method you know that works is good enough and I do like the simplicity of the method shown here.

    I am a new Ham (paid the fee today). My first radio ( bought before i should have) is a HT analog. My house is like a farady cage . I will need an antenna outside and getting it inside has to meet my wifes approval. I am thinking this is a good first step? It can get my on the air and if spend the time and and effort can then get a outside antenna or even base unit. Does this make sense?

    I've run resonant (no tuner) Hentenna / Skeleton Slot galvanised fencing wire antennas on 160,80,40,20,10,6,2,70cm and 23cm for ten years, and there's a lot you've said that I'd disagree with. I agree though, the Slot is a remarkable antenna with big performance. I did the cube antenna, but formed in a circle instead - this does go very well. The biggest lesson I learned was the antenna is nothing if it's not resonant - attach a tuner to a non-resonant at your peril - an ordinary half-wave dipole outperformed it if I did. The 160/80/40 slots can be built inside each other and fed with one feedpoint for a jaw-dropper of an antenna - I mount mine with all four corners equal height above the ground, a cloud warmer as you put it, but it seriously outperformed any other DX wire antenna fullstop, as well wound any NVIS local stations' S-meter right off the end of the meter and caused many a disbelieving moment, especially with full legal into it.. Strongly encourage anyone to try this antenna - practice first with a six meter Hentenna since it is only the size of the hood of your car, and once you have the hang of it then progress on to a 40m slot, and then to 80 and 160, and watch the insanity... A word of warning, the Hentenna / Skeleton Slot is going to teach you how to use your analyser, this is a hard task master, as you will see. Rules of thumb - narrower slot is lower impedance, longer antenna is lower frequency, height above ground should be about the same as a yagi reflector distance.

    Great presentation, as a user of Allstar for almost six years, I feel one important feature was left out. Allstar is a duplex system and although the clearnode and SHARI devices don't take advantage of that feature, duplex opens up a lot of capabilities with nodes connecting repeaters and other devices.
