Hi Steve,

How can I find more good information about the antennas you mention?  I live
in an apartment, but would very very much like to be able to get back on HF
in some form or other, although I know it'll be an extreme compromise.  I
want to get a QRP rig also, but don't want to be limited to CW only.
