QRP Station > Antennas
What's your favourite antenna for portable activity?
SM5JAB:
Either a 6m vertical made out of a fishing rod OR top corner fed half-square for the band in question. I recommend for everyone to try out a half-square!!
NA1DX:
I use a buddipole setup with an MFJ 1979 17' whip. With the coils, I can tune easily on 80m-40m. Without the coils, I can tune 20m-6m. I use the 17' whip as vertical and two shorter buddipole whips as radials. I have used a longer wire for a radial on 80m-40m. I use the setup to operated from beach trips over weekends, and when in Aruba (P40DE) last summer. I operated QRP with the KX3.

For portable work I use vertical, Inverted Vee with the open line. And the most popular antenna at clubmen of RU-QRP - VP2E powered since the end. http://ua6hjq.qrz.ru/ant/mfj902.htm

For outdoor I use home made - VP2E, END FEDZ EF-20, END FEDZ EF-10/20/40 and long wire with tuner Elecraft T1.
