You guys crack me up. The poor guy wanted a simple longwire solution.

I want one too, and that's how I found this thread.

I read in W1FB's Antenna Notebook that you can take a 1 wavelength
piece of wire, feed it with 75 Ohm coax 1/4 wavelength in from one
end, with the hot side going to the 3/4 wavelength piece and the
shield going to the 1/4 wavelength piece. It looks like you don't
need any type of tuner.

Has anybody tried that? I'm looking for a simple antenna for PSK-31
QRP that the homeowners association won't even see, and this looks
like the deal, but I can't find any corroboration for the concept.

Be sure and coil 7 or 8 turns the coax as a choke, at the feed
point... Other than that it will work fine... Don't let the
technical types here discourage you with their analysis of your
impedence, etc......
Get on the air and make Q's...
