The best portable antenna you've probably never heard of.


According to Australian radio amateur Peter Parker (VK3YE), the basic "Bobtail Curtain" antenna is one of the best portable DX antennas.

This "Bobtail Curtain" design from Peter is simple, easy to erect, and provides outstanding performance at a modest cost.

Here are some comments from Peter (VK3YE):

A great antenna for HF portable QRP DX. Consider it if you want a low radiation angle for DX, don't have very tall masts and wish to operate on or near a conductive surface.
