Miracle Whip
The Miracle is that antanna of this size works on HF, but it does & better than you might exspect.
For those who do not know, the Miracle Whip is a self-contained, all-band, 57-inch telescoping whip antenna with integrated tuner.

The Miracle Whip liberates your rig from coax, cables, mounts, tripods and trees, and gives you remarkable performance- including DX - from desktop to picnic table, and can even do it without a ground. Now that's portable!
It covers from 3.5 MHz to 460MHz with no gaps on TX & slightly more on RX, but without extra wire crocodile clipped to the top of the antenna, I have yet to use mine below 6.6MHz on TX, but with about 10 meters of wire & an extra earth radial, mine happily tunes up around 3MHz - 4 MHz.
I would personally say that as a TX antenna it does the job better than you would expect a HF antenna of this size to, but as an RX antenna it is truly amazing.
