The best portable antenna you've probably never heard of (Bobtail curtain for 14 MHz and more)

A great antenna for HF portable QRP DX. Consider it if you want a low radiation angle for DX, don't have very tall masts and wish to operate on or near a conductive surface.

A good write-up on the Bobtail Curtain is here: http://www.antentop.org/w4rnl.001/scv...
