[Elecraft] Home and portable antenna issues.....

[Bill Frantz]

For home use, <http://www.n6bt.com/> has a 7 foot tall lawn 
sculpture which operates on 20, 17 and 15. It doesn't look like 
an antenna. It is new, and I don't have any experience with it.

I have a Little Tarheel II antenna on my 4Runner. It works well 
on the higher frequencies. I used it with a K3/10 on 80M during 
the California QSO party and every single station I managed to 
contact said I was way down in the noise.

I have been impressed with the CrankIR 
<http://www.steppir.com/crankir-vertical-and-dipole> idea. 
However, While I don't have any experience with it, I think it 
is worth a look.
