Mini "AX-1" 17/20m antenna for portable use from Elecraft

I wouldn’t spend my money on it … you can easily make such an antenna yourself.
See my post here :

MFJ-1899T Antenna (Update)

Indeed a last resort emergency antenna … it will never beat a wire antenna of any kind (dipole, endfed …) I would not advise it for serious SOTA activating, but it is fun to see where it can get you a contact … In the picture a home made copy of such an antenna , it cost me virtually nothing. The coil is some magnet wire on a PVC electrical conduit, at the top is a bajonet type fuse holder, which can hold different “plug in” telescopic whips.
