Stan I have that printed thanks for pointing me to it and another resource. For all the other comments I have made a sub-folder in my KX3 email folder for the antenna ones for reference.
Another question what seems to be a minimum height for the Par to be effective? Yes I know higher is better trying to get a handle on this for an end fed. I have no experience with this type of antenna and thinking of field use and supports.

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. 73, Stan WB2LQF ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ----- No virus found in this message.
