          Wave - ground plane
          
          An simple and easy to 
          make antenna width a good band width. In this case for 10 and 11m.

        On my DX 
          activation as 234SD0 (afghanistan), there was a small opportunity to 
          bring the above in practice.
          234 division consist for the best part out of sand. 
          Sand and verticals do NOT match! 
          Water and verticals on the other hand DO match just think of those strong 
          MM stations on the frequency. 
          So up-front, the results were probably a bit down with a vertical. It 
          was however with what I started of. 
        It was 
          the most simple antenna (1/4 vertical - ground plane) for me to carry 
          along with me.
