understand that almost any full sized wire configuration will do better, this 
may be the antenna for you.
--One would have to assume this is exactly the market this antenna is
focused on: slightly better than a mobile whip, but not very attention-
drawing, for certain environments.
 
 I had one up for a year and a half and, mounted at ground level, it 
preformed about 2 "S" units less than a loaded [shortened] dipole mounted 8 
feet above the ground on 40 meters. Ron W7MRR >>
--I don't think this is a meaningful comparison unless you explain whether 
this
2S advantage applied to long haul, short haul, or everything. Of course, for
really effective modes such as PSK31 and CW, 2S is not that big a deal, 
am i right?
