[Elecraft] Small QRP Xcvr Use Question

[Ramon Tristani]

I am surprised no one has mentioned the TW2010 (www.twantennas.com <http://www.transworldantennas.com/>). It is very rugged, very lightweight, a bit expensive but worth every penny, made in the good old U.S.A. and will cover all ham bands from 20-10 meters including WARCs and fits in its own gulf club type carry on bag. Being a vertical dipole it does not need any radials and stands only about 8 feet on its “quadrapod”. Takes less than five minutes to setup. And by the way, it will handIe a full kilowatt. I have used mine at my QTH but my intention is to use it with my next toy: the KX2.
