[Elecraft] {OT} - On the subject of "best" portable antennas

[stan levandowski]

The PAR (actually now LNRPrecision) antennas, as far as I can see, 
follow the same basic rules as "the dipole rules."  I've used them as 
Inverted Vs, Inverted Ls, flat tops, and slopers.  My personal favorite 
method is the inverted "L" with a 33' fiberglass telescoping pole.  This 
gets the maximum radiation point up nice and high.  I deploy my "L" at 
50/50 (half vertical, half horizontal) .  If there is no other support 
available, I just hang the PAR from the pole and use it as an end fed 
vertical.  73, Stan WB2LQF
