I would like to know if anybody has seen a vertical antenna that will
work on frequencies from 1600Khz to 30.000mhz ?
I don't have area to install long wire antennas.
I will be willing to pay up to $ 175.00 for a good vertical antenna
that will work for the above frequency range.

Check out Monitoring Times "Flex-tenna". Uses zip cord or heavy speaker
cable IIRC. Receives from long wave all the way up to 2,500 Mhz. About 25
feet vertical. Hope this helps. Eric

Bob [K5QWG],

There is a better 'alternative' -IF- There is a place to Rig a
Vertical Wire Antenna Element that can be stretched-out
at least 15 or more Feet from the Ground into the Air and
also at at least 15 or more Feet away from the House.

Limited Space All Wave Vertical Antenna :
The MFJ-Snake Vertical Antenna !

The Snake Antenna made from a single piece of Coax Cable
can be used in conjunction with the MFJ-1020 : The Snake
Antenna functions as a Remote "Sense" Antenna and the
MFJ-1020 functions as an Active Pre-Selector between the
Antenna and the Radio / Receiver.
