As Jim mentions, this is a good article worth saving and it includes one of my
favorite and often used antenna, the 20 meter EDZ - 86 feet long. I have also
used this antenna on bands above 20 meters and on 10 it produces a nice
clover-leaf pattern with gain. I had two of these at right angles to each other
at a school I taught at.
As for using it with the K3 ... I installed the internal tuner and at the
output I attached a 4:1 balun. Some bands the K3 could not find a suitable
match and I solved that by adjusting the length of the 450 ohm ladder line
going to the antenna (can't remember the length). In another case I obtained a
match by changing the length of RG8 between the K3 and the balun. In an
apartment in FL I used the antenna in a stealth manor, 43 feet 18 gauge
insulated green wire suspended from the limb of a tree outside my unit and 43
feet horizontal, hid in the same big tree. It worked very nicely. (Maybe I
should write up the antenna I used on 160 in the SP test from that apartment.)
For NAQP I built a 10 meter EDZ and suspended the entire antenna vertically and
that also worked nicely.

Lots of great ideas here.
