Great portable antanna for the park
5 Stars
Great portable antanna for the park
It is hard to write a review for HF antennas, especially when conditions have been so crappy. However, I was able to get contacts on both 40 and 20 meters today on a QRP rig. So it works. The reality is an antenna is just wire cut at a certain distance and mounted in a particular way. After getting this up into a tree it worked pretty good for a basic park station. I did read some of the reviews about the material and build quality on this and I agree there is a tiny bit of coming apart and vulnerability. The ceramic on one of the weights chipped on me from holding it down with a screw. Other than that I'm happy. I will probably seal the connections and put some kind of clips with a BNC connector on it.

Reviewed in Mexico on August 13, 2023
Me gustó su simplicidad, buenos materiales, su portabilidad, se arma en poco tiempo y ya esta al aire; sw recomienda usar antena tuner. Lo malo, es que la parte donde el cable bifilar pasa a coaxial NO está cubierto, asi que en lluvia no se puede utilizar para no hacer corto. XE2CRM.
