Default Icom PCR1000 antenna

For some irrational reason, that probably defies logical
justification, I've decided to setup my PCR1000 receiver as an
internet accessible receiver. There are about 7 programs available to
do this, so I don't expect software to be a problem. The receiver
will eventually be moved to a mountain top repeater site, which
unfortunately does not have much room for an antenna. The receiver
will tune from 0.1 to 1300Mhz. I don't wanna deal with an antenna
tuners or switches.

Is there an antenna or combination of antennas that are suitable for
such a wide tuning range and that is small enough to fit in a limited
rooftop area?


One thing not to forget is there are relatively inexpensive
duplexers/triplexers/etc. from the likes of Comet and others. Or roll
your own.

I know that doesn't help much on the low end of things but means a
couple discones on the mid and upper will do well.

And yes there will be some small to medium gaps because of the device.
