[Elecraft] Trans World Antenna

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Phil, there is no "magic" or anything new in antenna design in nearly a
century. 

That's simply a short, loaded radiator, either a doublet (if fed near the
center) or a monopole.

It will work nearly as well as the "Buddi Pole" that Elecraft (and others)
sell, which means it will make a lot of contacts under the right conditions.


Or you can create your own version by throwing up a low doublet and feeding
it through the KAT3 or KAT3 tuners. 

What you are paying for in these antennas is convenience, not performance. 

73,

Ron AC7AC

Has anyone been Very miserable with them?

Are they better than  a big KLM log  at 200 feet... yeah...right 
I can dream.
