I know we have a few hams on here and would like to pick your brains a little. I need to put up a HF antenna for here at the house. I would also like to build one to take with us when we go camping or to use for a stationary set up, say if we were in a bugout situation.
Here is a couple of designs I ran across yesterday and wanted to see if anyone had expereince with a NVIS antenna.
Quick, Easy, Cheap, NVIS Antenna for Roadside Operating. (http://www.hamuniverse.com/k6sojnvis.html)
DESIGN THE CLOUD WARMER NVIS BEAM ANTENNA (http://www.hamuniverse.com/nvisbeam.html)
I have also looked seriously at these two for use around the house.

New Carolina Windom by K4IWL - Len Carson - Carolina Windom Project - New Version! (http://www.hamuniverse.com/k4iwlnewwindom.html)
The first one is similar to one a friend of mine built with good success. The second one is the same as another friend of mine has up and is making good contacts with it.
Ideas anyone?
