[TowerTalk] JAMAICA ANTENNA

[Bob Nielsen]

In 2004, my wife and I travelled to the northeastern part of France  
and I brought along my K2 and a MP-1 small "screwdriver" vertical by  
Superantennas. I set this antenna up on the desk of our 6th floor  
room next to the window with a wire counterpoise along the floor and  
was able to work much of Europe plus 3V and A6, all QRP (it was the  
WPX weekend).   This antenna breaks down to ~2 ft. pieces and easily  
fit in my suitcase along with the rig and a miniature switching P.S.

Another easily-transportable antenna is the Buddipole.  If there are  
some trees where you can string a dipole, that would probably be even  
better.
