Hi Eric,
http://www.bluestarantennas.com
It's about like the Superantennas MP1 or similar. Tuning and asembly
shouldn't be hard. I had some trouble getting it tuned on 40, but that
could be because of other stuff interfering with the tuning, I don't
know. At any rate, you can get close by peaking the noise, and better
if you have a talking or morse output swr bridge. Tuning is
accomplished by sliding a ring up and down the tuning coil. It comes
with a mounting base and C-clamp, so should be easy to put on a
balcony railing, but you can get a tripod for it if you want.
The basic antenna (40-6 meters) is $100, the addition 60-80 meter coil
is $30.
