    I will work in a pinch. I used just such a whip on the trunk of my car and fed it with a remote tuner mounted directly under the antenna. Worked great going down the highway. I could TX from 20M-10M with ease, and if conditions were good, I could use it on 40M locally. Just push a button on the IC-706 which would tune the AH-4 in the trunk. No coax between the tuner and the whip, so losses were manageable.
    Keep up the good work Simon. Never stop experimenting!

    Can't wait to see this... I have an old CB whip that I have been wanting to put on 10m, but I have been too busy... The thought that it may work on 20m is amazing!

      hey Pat thanks for watching buddy. A loaded coil certainly does open up a ton of opportunities that's for sure. Cheers buddy and get your snow board out! wooohoooo

      G'day Chris buddy, thanks so much for watching mate. It was a really fun little experiment, and considering the compromised length of the whip, it works really well ha! Happy holidays to you and yours my friend! Cheers mate
