Here are a few comments from Wil (WI9LL):

built this antenna specifically for low wattage QRP use to be compact and inexpensive. It utilizes a 9:1 unun wrapped on a T106-2 toroid and minimal hardware to be lightweight. Here is a video of me testing the antenna with WSPR mode. The results surprised me:    • 20m WSPR Test on Tiny End Fed Antenna
