[Elecraft] Mobile antenna breakthrough?

[Bill Johnson]

Phil, the copper tape works on VHF/UHF with HT power levels, so at HF should work well.  Could even do multiple loops!  Dimensions, will be the trick.  We need a designer to build and install and market for HF car top carriers!  I am not up to it.

I've used that for "rear window defroster" DF antennas.  How well would that material work for reasonable transmitter powers?
