Anyone ever use Slinky Antenna's for Shortwave?

Anyone ever use em for Amateur Radio?

Whats your opinion?

I'm getting ready to move into a townhouse here to downsize the home a bit
since the kids are off at college....Gonna have to go with Stealth type
antenna's in the attic if I want to stay the hobby.

I've used a slinky dipole a couple of times, and currently have one unused
in the attic of my house. While they work, there are not any better (and
usually somewhat worse in terms of reception) than a longwire or tuned
dipole.

I'd use a longwire fed by coax through a magnetic balun or an Eavesdropper
dipole instead.
