I second the butternut vertical....i worked 5bwas, dxcc (mixed, ssb,
and cw ) with mixed to 175 endorsement, WAC, and did well in several
contests...using the darn antenna from an apartment patio, with NO
ground wires.....I have heard people using them with ground planes,
and their stories are even more successful.
