Not too bad on the higher HF bands, but the more loading coil you need,
the worse it gets. I suppose, if you make good radials for it and lay
them out on nice dry ground, then you'll probably be pushing more signal
out via them than via the antenna...
....and, like Jack, I've had *far* better mileage, particularly on the
lower HF bands, with a pocket dipole held up by a glass-fibre fishing
rod...
