The other day, I tried to find my Miracle Whip. I have not used this for many years. With a decent earth or counterpoise it is not that bad on the higher HF bands. It certainly is convenient and easy to match on all bands from 40m to the VHF bands. It fits on the back of the rig.
Years ago I even managed an 80m SSB QSO with it using the auto ATU in the ICOM IC-703 to help match the whip.
I searched high and low and failed to find the miracle whip. It is probably in the loft.
Originally these were made in Canada, but the designer has been dead for several years. Several people are offering similar antennas.
