[Elecraft] [k3] OT - Antenna for apartment use

[Vic Rosenthal K2VCO]

It's a 4-1/2 foot whip, working against the coax shield as a 'radial'. 
Probably the coax will radiate more than the whip, especially if the 
coax is stretched out full length.

An indoor dipole would certainly work better. A couple of pieces of wire 
matched by the K3 tuner would work as well or better. There is also the 
likelihood of RF on the coax affecting the transmitter, or arcing to the 
operator if the circumstances are right!

Don't waste your money.
