Hi Tonnie,

Thinks for the link, I will have a look on it and may be built it for comparison with the antenna I use since about 3 years :

Simple Resonant Multiband Antenna for Use with KX3/2 and Internal ATU

There seems to be a lot of interest in antennas that can be used with an internal ATU, such as that found in the KX3/2/1, so I thought I would share a rather clever design that was given to me by G3UNA, who in turn got it from M0RZF: http://www.m0rzf.co.uk/styled/ It is generally called an End Connected Windom or ECOCFD. The name says ‘end connected’ and not ‘end fed’ for a good reason. It offers almost all the advantages of an EFHW antenna (resonance and no long coax feeder to carry), whilst …

I had discovered this antenna by an join activation with Matt, OE6FEG when I stayed in Austria for the job. It is effective more simple to mount it than a dipole (thanks Matt).
Enjoy your trip.
