Works Quite Well

Posted by Ivan Dubinsky on 2021 Jun 24th

I got mine yesterday and set it up in the back yard using the included counterpoise wires and a couple cut for 40 and 80 meters. I was able to work Alaska and Oregon from B.C. on 20 meters running 10 watts. I was curious to see if I get could get it to work on 80 meters using a couple of coils from a JPC-7 Dipole, which I also own. By putting the 3 coils in series set to max inductance and adding one extension section from the JPC-7 Dipole, I was able to get a match on 3729 kHz and check into the BC Public Service net. Loads of possibilities if you own both antennas as the loading coild and extension sections are the same. I think I will order the grounding plate for this antenna as it will make adding counterpoise wires/radials easier. All in all, a well designed and thought out antenna.

I use this portable antenna locally at city parks. It works quite well as I've been able to check the Noon Time Net

Great antenna. Sets up easily and able to adjust quickly. Recommend the grounding plate as well as easy way to add radials. Set up and got 59 from Slovenia and 57 from Austria with only 30 watts. Great portable package.
