Especially if the vertical is properly fed and has radials. One might also
mention the double-extended Zepps, log-periodics, V-beams, W8JK, and many
other popular non-resonant antennas.

As to the relevance to Elecraft, let's recall that the early of history of
our beloved manufacturer was heavily involved in catering to the needs of
QRP operators with non-resonant antennas. The Elecraft auto-tuners have
awesome range and in fact are all capable of tuning a piece of wire
connected directly to the antenna socket at the back.
