The antenna use a UnUn (unbalanced to unbalanced) balun to insure a good match between feed line and antenna.  Kevin says this antenna is perfect for QRP operations.  You may want to build one of these antennas for emergency or portable use.  This would make a great stealth antenna as well--easy up and easy down with only a small visual impact.
