[Elecraft] 43 ft Vertical

[WILLIS COOKE]

The other half of the antenna is the braid of your coax unless you use an unun and connect the antenna to something like the ship superstructure or the sail of a submarine.  I used a 114 ft wire connected to the sail of a sub this weekend and it worked pretty well, but not nearly as well as my SteppIR.

a dipole. Hi Hi"

Sure.  It's called an End Fed Half Wave dipole.  Oh, but to some, that's not an antenna.

The other half of this vertical antenna is the ground system. Without  
that other half, you will be wasting your time and money on the first  
half.
