The best portable antenna you've probable never heard of.
According to Australian radio amateur Peter Parker (VK3YE), there is no better HF antenna for QRP DX than the Bobtail Curtain Array. This antenna offers a low angle of radiation and a bi-directional pattern. The antenna is easy to make and deploys in minutes. In this video, Peter discusses the theory and practical considerations for building this outstanding antenna. The video shows us how to build a Bobtail Curtain for the 20 meter band.

Here are some comments from Peter (VK3YE): 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.
