A whip antenna system for surface vehicles or the like. The antenna system's tuner has an LC tank circuit, into whose inductor is inserted a coil that is connected to the vehicle's transmitter/receiver, the coil being field coupled to the tank circuit's inductor. The inserted coil provides sufficient reactance that the vehicle need not serve as a counterpoise, thus providing an antenna of comparable size but electrically less close to the ground (i.e. one that has better "seeing"), and useable with non-metallic vehicles (e.g. fiberglass boats).
