[Elecraft] Miracle Whip Antenna

Vincent,
You might want to check out the HFpack Portable Antenna Shootout for some 
interesting comparisons of small, portable antennas -- the Miracle Whip 
being one compared.  This site might help you sort through the portable 
antenna options:
        http://www.hfpack.com/

Also, there's an interesting "home brew" version described:
        http://www.g4fon.co.uk
Look under the "musing on the miracle whip design".  The more I study 
these compact portable antennas, the clearer the compromise in performance 
over larger antennas becomes.  Portability or Performance:  pick one!

Having said that, there was a recent QST article where QSO's were made on 
a light-bulb dummy load!  I'm not recommending this, but it goes to show 
that contacts can be made on the extremes of compromise.

73,
Steve
