Hi John,

No, I believe the antenna is one from Mizuho, in this case cut for 20 meters.
Right after Eric took the photo, I worked a VE7 with the rig in the exact
position shown, with that antenna. I used a single 16' counterpoise wire laid on
the livingroom floor.

If you can't find the Mizuho, similar whips can be obtained from Maldol, and
maybe others. Check HRO's catalog.
