I have one I got from K5LDD.  It's for 80 meters, it comes with no instructions and some parts may be missing.  You want it?

It should work reasonable well as a radiator, physically small antennas have been used by many people with great success, but its feedpoint impedance is going to vary rapidly with frequency and that means it's going to be fiddly to use.  At my age, I dislike fiddly.

Thank you, Rick.

Saw one on Dave Casler’s blog last night. He is planning to test it out. They are said to be good on one band only. Have been a try around 30 years. I saw a surprising number of 5 star reviews. Has anyone here tried one? Could just come down to cognitive dissonance on their part.

 Very high Q.   Finicky.   Poor radiator.

You might have the same luck using a light bulb for an antenna-at least it will be cheaper

    Anyone have any experience with an Isotron antenna?
