As I continue to put the finishing touches on packing up the house for my new life, its time to take down the DX Commander Classic Antenna that has served me so well. She's pretty dirty, but she's been a great aid!

If there's one thing I've learned here, it's that T.O. doesn't have a yard loaded with poison ivy like I do.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

I've never seen the 3-leafed beastie since leaving Maryland. I don't miss it. We do have thistles or "Seven Minute Itch" which is more like 2 day itch.

@HamRadioDX Год назад

I actually didn’t realize how close to the road and noise you get from passersby. So long to the Dx Commander, it’s served you well!

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Considering all the other benefits of this property comma the road noise isn't bad at all.

@MikeN2MAK Год назад

Glad to see how well the antenna held up in the weather after the years. Looks like it'd do just fine here in NY.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

It would, I don't think you get the cold like we do

@barndweller4573 Год назад

Good luck, I have watched so many of your videos that it like we are friends. Good luck! I know taking down antennas is a sad thing. Last year we sold our cabin and I had a few antennas up there ready for retirement. Life has a way of changing what we had planned. God Bless.

Thanks for that - we're all one big hamfam!

@williammyers-ka8gim978 Год назад

Hi T.O. Glad to see the DX Commander worked so well. I'm in the process of installing my DX Commander Signature 12.4, but I'm going with a permanent installation. Glad to see that yours survive the last touch Wisconsin winters that we've had. I heard that you were moving, sorry to hear that you're leaving the Great White North of Wisconsin. Best wishes to wherever you land and on you new job. Bill-KA8GIM

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Thanks Bill! Good luck with that new antenna!

@KS0JD Год назад

Nice semi permanent installation! I think a lot of folks have those I throw it up in a tree for a couple of weeks and see how it works antenna. 3 years later they take i down because the most recent break from a storm can't be fixed easily. 73

You had me hooked at Wisconsin Winters and Vaseline! Thanks for the video.

This thing is a survivor!

@jmount1200 Год назад

Some days I am envious of those with trees or space. I don't have any trees big enough to throw a line up but a 33 foot mast, I do. SoCal has some trees though, I found them last week.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

A vertical is the way to go! This one is really compact considering all it can do.

@victorcharlie7491 Год назад

That antenna looks like it held up really good, nice work, tnx.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

It sure did!

@jcullipher01 Год назад

Enjoy the new adventure!

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Thanks!

@LifeAtTerminalVelocity Год назад

I can't believe you were able to get the radials out! Mine have only been in the dirt for a year and there is no way I can get those suckers out.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Only lost one, and I suspect it was chewed

@DonDegidio Год назад

Hi Steve, It did hold up well. What's the ETA to TX? Everyone there stay safe. 73 WJ3U

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

I should be in Texas in September

@miken8yo4 Год назад

I think packing up a DXCommander in a shotgun bag is about the most TO thing I could imagine. Great idea man, and great video.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

It's where my mind goes... thanks!

@Swamp-Fox Год назад

Love the gun case idea!

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

I laughed when I thought it up. "RU-vid is gonna hate this"

@phillyedhrj Год назад

Nice bag.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Thanks!

@don_n5skt Год назад

You are lucky you don't have carpet grass. That stuff will fight you every step of the way. Also, I replaced all my elements with DX10 because mine came with the original D10 wire. The D10 wire failed when the plastic jackets heated up and dried out.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

You have the exact opposite extreme of weather than I do.

@GraymanPOTA Год назад

I have been debating on the DX Commander, but was not sure about the long term install. If that was 3 or 4 years in the northern elements, that is nothing to complain about.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

No complaints at all, very minimal maintenance

@Bill-HRT Год назад

TO! I am aghast. You said shotgun, detritus, and shaft all in one video, lol. Great demo and video! I just pulled out with the pickup and trailer and left the signature 9 behind at the bus. Now, I know how I’m going to go back and retrieve the antenna with a shotgun case. They’re gunna freak when I carry it on the Airbus,lol. 73 de Bill

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

It would be great to walk this antenna case through TSA ;-)

@Bill-HRT Год назад

@@temporarilyoffline I will let you know how it goes in a few weeks, lol.

@ramonbennett8416 Год назад

So glad to see that it lasted this long. A tribute to Calum design. 🙏📡☢️

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Indeed!

@DonzLockz Год назад

A sad day but a new adventure awaits, without snow! ;)

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

No snow! Woohoo!

@chrisnmichelle0218 Год назад

The plates were supposed to go over the clamps, lol, saw you did yours backwards. All is good though 😂

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Could be - 3+ years without an issue

@chrisnmichelle0218 Год назад

@temporarilyoffline as long as it worked all is good, putting the plate on top of the clamp protects the fiberglass ends from cracking or extra stress is all, but these things are pretty bullet proof 😉

@phillyedhrj Год назад

The end cap is VERY important.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Wish I still had it ;-)

@phillyedhrj Год назад

@@temporarilyoffline I feel your pain. I lost the end caps to my MFJ 1910 mast. Not fun.

@robertmeyer4744 9 месяцев назад

great antenna ! can easy get parts for them. I hope to have the 2024 Expedition portable one this charismas . savaging up for new POTA antenna. got the new POTAFLEX 7 coax from M & P on the way ! nice bright yellow. if you need more DX 10 wire DX commander sells it. he has hats shirts and stickers and outher stuff now. going to love the DX commander coffle cup. find a POTA spot and set that DX commander up. will be great fun. lots of pile ups ! do the K8MRD mod so you have 12 meters. 73's

@temporarilyoffline 9 месяцев назад

Sounds like fun

@Upnorthof48 Год назад

AR case is awesome!

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

I think so too!

@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures Год назад

Nice setup, we should do some work to our DXC's to make them faster to deploy.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

I could see some speed mods for sure. This one isn't setup for speed.

@larrytaylor7753 Год назад

That looks like way to much trouble for portable ops. Looks like a great semi-permanent install as you did for 3 years. When are you hitting the road?

@JosephVE3GKT Год назад

I agree. Very interested to hear Steve's thoughts.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

It has been FANTASTIC for the past 3 years, highly recommended as a full time antenna. I'm leaving 2 fridays from now. Getting CLOSE!!

@chrisnmichelle0218 Год назад

I set my dx commander up in twenty minutes, usually faster, amazing results though

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

@@chrisnmichelle0218 Yeah, its not hard to setup - I just make sure the juice is worth the squeeze

@W9HJBill Год назад

Nice. I'm suprised you only use 3 guy lines down low ... especially with those nice trees surrounding it. On my DXC I have 2 sets of guys (one about 10 feet up and the other about 25 feet up, both tied to the same anchor point) running to three threes about 7 feet up. That thing never moves, even in 60 mph winds.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

We get 60mph winds here from time to time, its been fine - it helps that its in among some trees. I had one guy line get chewed and it still stood up for a while until I caught it.

@dougdaniels Год назад

Nice high capacity antenna in that bag 😁

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Right!

@youtubeaccount931 Год назад

Actually impressed how well it held up. So what is next on the HF antenna agenda for you?

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

I'm playing with whips - always more antennas to play with

@georgeosier5459 11 месяцев назад

looks nice but a bit large for my uses ... I have a CHAMELEON CHA SS17 on the way and a Wolf River Sporty 40 coil ...... my QRP LABS QDX is still on order ... hope this setup will work better with QRP then my Comet HFJ 350M ... thanks for the great videos !!! de George , N2JNZ

@temporarilyoffline 11 месяцев назад

Hey George - the SS17 and some ground radials is perfect for 20m. I just put over 500 contacts through mine last week at Huntsville Hamfest.

@M0JSX Год назад

You might be better off grabbing a new DX Commander Expedition for /P working. The classic is great, but for SOTA/POTA it’s a little cumbersome. All the best! 73!

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

I have an expedition I need to build yet - it's in the truck for a future video. This antenna has been great!

@M0JSX Год назад

@@temporarilyoffline in which case, save yourself time by reusing the elements and radials from your classic. Just recut the shock cord and you should be on air in no time.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

@@M0JSX good idea!

@osculant Год назад

You going 9-land to 5-land?? Leaving Houston on my way back home to Milwaukee. So happy to leave TX 😂

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Yep, the from there, who knows

@JosephVE3GKT Год назад

It looks like it held up well, Steve! I guess it was relatively well-shaded. It does look very complicated to set up for portable ops though. 73 VE3GKT

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Matt Heere has a good video on getting his setup. This isn't the "portable" version, so I've always said this would be a full weekend antenna instead of a single activation antenna.

@don_n5skt Год назад

Mine has been up just as long and it has also held up well in the Texas heat and Sun. I just recently replaced the guy plates after one failed due to heat and i have a video of that on my channel.

@M0RMY Год назад

Expedition variant takes literally 5-10 minutes. Now even faster with the new quick plates and stopper knot technique. Just wait a bit and have a look at the new DX Engineering Expedition stock - they are great. Callum is shipping a ton of them to the US.

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

@@M0RMY I'll take a look, thanks

@joeblow8593 Год назад

Steve, what part of Texas are you moving to?

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Livingston, but I'll probably/hopefully never be be there

@user-ly5hq5lz6v Год назад

I hope thats not a whole lot of poison ivy that you are tramping thru! E Texas ... definitely poison ivy!

@temporarilyoffline Год назад

Nah, I haven't seen any of that stuff in Wisconsin. It was all over in Maryland- 3 leaves, leave it be!
