A cheap version of this antenna is a 100w incandescent light bulb 
with a few feed of "lamp cord" with a PL-259 attached.  If you can 
load it, it makes a cheap dummy load that leaks RF.  What I used as a 
Novice in the 1960's.  I actually made some 40m contacts with the 
"light bulb" antenna over several hundred miles with 75w from my DX-35.
