Larry:

Joe Buch N2JB, formerly of Las Cruces (now he's back in Jersey, I think).
Operated QRP with about a 20' vertical on a fence post with a single 20'
"radial" perpendicular at the base and fed it with ladder line to a
Matchbox tuner. Beat me all the time (I was using a TT Argonaut 509 and so
was he, but my antenna was an 80meter inv. vee. dipole fed with ladder
line. Center up at about 25 feet.) Although I like my GAP Titan I'm about
to try the old "up and out" antenna. It's in some old Antenna Handbooks,
maybe new for that matter.
