Thank you very much for the link.

The Portable End Fed Zepp antenna, in that design, was news to me. Duly saved for future experimentation/use.

The "PAR" 40-20-10 end fed has been on the market for years, sold under a few different vendors now.  Currently Vibroplex.  I acquired one to evaluate about 10 years ago and I liked it so much I've kept it in my camping antenna go-tote.  I used it for Field Day this year and worked coast to coast QRP.  What it might lack in sophistication it makes up for in convenience.
