Sorry,

I've had a little accident while sporting and since I've only
a quick connection at the QRL, I couldn't check my mail and this newsgroup.

OK, thanx for the explanation. It seems I can leave it now! I thought it
would be a nice solution: a big amount of wire on a small area. But if
performance is even lower as other antennas and I can only come out on QRP
(I've got an FT-817) it is probably not the thing to choose for in first
instance.

Thanks all for the replies, links, etc. !!
