Need help... End-fed, long wire or ????

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

We gots dummies like me here, and we gots really smart folks here.
Sometimes the threads veer off into discussions of how many angels can
dance on the head of a pin. But everyone means well.

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.

I'd be pretty skeptical that no tuner was needed, but see above for my
dummy status... ;^)

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.

You might want to try 2 20 meter mobile whips arranged as a dipole.
Quick and easy to set up and tear down.

That of course is assuming you are doing 20 meter psk, where most of
the activity is.
