Default Antenna for my Kenwood R-1000 receiver? EH Antenna

Howdy:
Some might be interested in a small, fairly new type of antenna that could be made cheaply, but does take some
effort to tune, but once tuned, you have a small antenna that will work on the lower bands.

The EH Antenna was introduced as small dipole making use of the controversial Crossed Field Theory. One of the conditions for this
mode of radiation is to arrange the magnetic (H) field in phase with the Electric (E) field. The original theory provided by the
inventor was based on feeding the antenna through a 90 degree phase shift network which he claimed shifted the current fed into the
antenna by 90 degrees relative to the voltage across it.
