I'm not a member of the sgc2000 egroup, so I'll just make it short: It's not a contest or DX rig, selectivity isn't very good and forget CW although I have operated CW mobile with it on occasion. It

Has anyone thought of an HF antenna that can be used on the move? I was thinking something like an helecticly wound vert. Using 1/2" pvc with that foam pipe insulation over it to get a larger
