Yes, the antenna I was using is an MFJ-1979 telescoping whip. It is about 16 1/2 feet and therefore a pretty good match on 20 meters. I usually use it with at least 2 tuned radials that end just a bit off the ground, and the performance can be quite impressive even from just a few feet (picnic table height) off the ground. If you tune your radials carefully, you can get a pretty good match without much effort.

FYI - I used this antenna on a 25’ painter’s pole for Field Day in 2015, ran QRP, and the antenna performed FANTASTICALLY. Worked 49 states on 20 meters and ended #3 for all comers in the district - even the big clubs and QRO stations. Of course, it helps that those CW contacts QRP are worth 10 points each! 72, Chas
