[VHFcontesting] EDZ antennas for portable use

[n3aws at aol.com]

Does anyone have experience with EDZ antennas for 6 meters as a portable antenna?  I'm contemplating one to use instead of a dipole.  It should give some gain if oriented correctly without the complexity of a beam.  Since the location I'm thinking of probably won't require rotating the antenna to hit the population centers in a contest, I think the EDZ might be an interesting experiment.
