I am very pleased with the performance of this antenna
fast to deploy, wide bandwidth, high efficiency and no lossy baluns to affect my power output
It takes 600 watts PEP (tested)

That's a bonus and Zi didn't bother opening it up.

Hi, great video series about this awesome antenna, I got one myself a couple of weeks ago (including the tripod) and it was never so easy to set up a well working antenna while on the field. But: there IS a 1:1 balun housed in the center piece of the antenna, which makes sense regarding you feed a symmetrical antenna with an unsymmetrical coax cable. Just wanted to point this out, as you said in the video description that there aren't any lossy baluns involved. Keep up the good work and have fun on the bands! 73 Sebastian DL2KSE

hmmm OK maybe as a choke but then a 9:1 balun is lossier from what I am seeing, but maybe I meant coils or maybe I need to open it up. It works great

@@VE3IPS right, it's basically just a common mode choke so there won't be any RF on the cable shield. It also makes the radiation pattern symmetrical, a dipole that's fed directly with coax cable tends to have a slightly slanted pattern due to the direct transition from unsymmetrical coax to symmetrical antenne. Usually no considerable losses involved here. The antenna works great indeed, already looking forward to this weekend's portable operation. 73!
