Well, I finally got my 1621 setup outdoors, it tuned up VERY nicely on 20m and 40m, but I have yet to hold a QSO on it.  With the short physical length of it, I do not think it has much of a chance in the efficiency department.  I do think, Ill continue to check it out and at least see what RST reports I can get off it.  I have a feeling, the Hamstick Dipole although it is not the greatest, will yield better results.

When I did take it inside, I sat it at the other end of the house, leaving all for jebis 50ft of coax straight and not crossed (as suggested by other owners), sat it on the bed and tried to best to tune it to a decent SWR.  No go, didnt happen.  So the "dream" of having a decent indoor portable antenna, IMHO, is squashed.  Stay tuned for more.
