[Elecraft] Miniature self-supporting HF antennas

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

One of the better sources of information and portable antennas is found 
at http://www.dj0ip.de/antennas/ <http://www.dj0ip.de/antennas/>     
Rick has some extensive test results on baluns and portable antennas on 
his website.  His OFCD antenna is an ideal back packing antenna covering 
most all bands with a very reasonable tuner.
