We all enjoy /p QRP work and there is nothing better than seeing other peoples setups/kit/go-cases.
I use a KX3 portable with various antennas (incl. the g-whips).
Here are a snap from recent /p trip.

Looks like the wonderwand or miracle whip loop tuner to me ..

sorry for "jumping" in
I'm tempted to try one albeit a homebrew one .I tried a small mag loop a while back that worked quite well but that was about 1m diameter made from thin wire but needed a frame .. I used a miracle whip for a few summers and found that worked well with counterpoise wires ..
I used a single polyvaricon ,the standard ones 4-140pf I think they are which worked fine ,I have the tuning box still here but I have small 22 pf cap I can switch in /out of line as 140 was just short to resonate 40m .. worked surprisingly well at ground level and the nulls were great ..Would a polyvaricon handle 10 W? I like the idea of individual variable capacitors pre-set for the QRP segments of individual bands as it would save a bit of fiddling about every time one changes band.
I think they are much better than the vertical equivalent.
if you have a wonderwand widebander with a good length of wire and a decent counterpoise (or the TCS from wonderwand), it will far outperform the wonderloop.
Has anybody compared the Wonder-Loop with the Wide-Bander?
