The MicroVert is based on a design developed by Jurgen Schafer (DL7PE).  As built, the MicroVert is a short, base-loaded antenna that uses the coax shield as a counterpoise.  While the Microvert doesn't perform as well as a dipole antenna, it can get you on the air where large antennas are not suitable or allowed.
