that's different . neatly compact . mount it atop a tall walking stick when hiking . it's also dang cool looking 
on the cb band how would it compare RF wise to a horizontal dipole at the same tip height ? mobility wise the dipole would be at a huge disadvantage unless you were in a relatively open area .

I Was in a apartment for a short time, I played with several loops on the ground floor patio.
Just sitting on a small table allowed me to make some good contacts on 20 meters with it and the 897.
1/4 inch copper or 3/8 tubing works great and is easy to work with.
Here is a great page with lots of good info.

I forgot all about this thread, Jeff. This is on my to do list. It is far too novel, and way too simple not to give it a go.
