Default Quick and Dirty Antenna With Good Performance (especially way out west)

I have an MFJ-1024 on top of a 20' pole that works very well. It
behaves exactly like a car radio antenna (which the element actually
is). I use it on my little bed side radio (an ICOM R-75) and use it
nightly. Caution: when buying antennas from MFJ or Radio Shack, I
find the first thing you need to do is take them apart and tighten
everything.

The Stoner DA100E is pretty much the same thing, but they may be on
hiatus.
