I have used the Ventenna HPp, several of the PAR ENDFEDZ, my own half
wave contraptions, and random wires and counterpoises. They all *work*.
The trick is to agree on the the term *work* and I don't think that's
practically possible because there are just too many variables.
The Fall 2011 (Volume 52, Number 4, page 50) issue of QRP Quarterly has
a reprint of an excellent classic article by Joe Everhart, N2CX on the
subject of portable antennas. It's practical, down-to-earth, and
understandable even by those who don't anything about antenna theory.
There is no math in this article.
Well worth the effort to locate for all those interested in making the
most of QRP-on-the-go.
