Game-Changing Signature 9m Antenna: See It Here First! 

That's what Wendy said when she heard me editing this!

I'm watching the video, I'm 15 secs in and I want one lol. Let's see if I can snag one lol

@@the_mad_swimbaiter455 Good luck! I think including the ground pole, especially a GRP pole, is a great idea. With buried radials it's not going to take up much space in the garden at all.

Best of luck, I am excited and eager to see the build and hear you on it on a Friday. I just hope I can afford one as I know it would do well next to my saltwater amplifier lol 73 Alex M7 DPA

I’ve been waiting for this! Early last year you mentioned you were working on something, and I had the impression it was guyless. So here it is.

Thank you very much!

@@DXCommanderHQ Anytime I get grumpy I go back and watch your 160 meter video. Makes me laugh everytime.

Glad you like it!

PS Shout if you need one to review!!

Haha Tyler! Yeah man, just a couple of tweaks.. I'll drop you a line in the next few days old friend.

Gary! You are so welcome!

Yeah.. Hopefully I can finish the cut-chart tomorrow Ian..

HAHA

Thanks 👍

Thanks a ton!

Oh!

Have fun!

HAHA

Good choice!

Yeah, this one is F.A.B :)

Oh!

@@DXCommanderHQ Yes I'm sure as those 48 go online there will be more than 48 who want them :-) Looks great though.

Thanks a ton!

OK, if you are subsribed and bell is hit, you WILL be notified via email (assuming YT email alert works).

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks 👍

Many thanks!

Good morning!

Good luck!

A long time!

Very cool!

Nice 👍

No problem!

Much appreciated!

You're in!

You and me both!

Fingers crossed!

Have fun!

Ah-ha.. Interesting!

@DXCommander You might sell even more if you would let people order their coax and everything through you and have everything ready to go....just a thought...

Might not be a bad idea to pour a little down the pipe, too, to make it “solid”.

@@GeorgeAdams Why not dig the hole fill it with your favourite mix and then push the pipe in ?

Awesome, thank you!

Cool, thanks

No problem 👍

😋

Nothing wrong with the Classic :)

What date will these be going on presage?

Thanks ✌

Ah-ha! OK Raymond!

Thanks!

Yeah, but I'm just the drummer :)

@@DXCommanderHQ Just the drummer is the backbone of the entire band(drummers are a special breed all on their own). David Grohl...cough...cough...I mean you already know definitely don't get as much credit as they deserve. What type of music you guys play(blues)? It's a nice kit btw as well.

WHat type of music.. Well.. (Sorry for late reply..) Here is last weeks rehearsal.. Don't judge. Full of mistakes! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DpinDaV-WAo.html

Nice one!

Yes, you will be able to buy the pole separate. Pricing will be somewhere between the Classic and the 12.4. Not worked it out yet. £79 rings a bell.

Field day.. Honestly, you might as well go with Expedition version.. Fast, easy to pop up too.

@@DXCommanderHQ he liked the no guy wire idea. I'll look at that one too. Thanks Cal!

He liked the expedition one and went ahead and ordered it. Thanks Cal!

Just wanted to say how amazing the shipping is. Ordered the expedition 4 days ago and it just got the doorstep here in the states! Thanks Cal!

Well, just like you can't get insurance on a fence post, I have to say, this is the same. You never know what might come along in terms of weather. However, many folks have put up the 12.4 on large flat roofs. As long as you can maintain it safely - and lay it down in case a major storm is predicted (you mught as well!) then, in most cases you should be fine. From experience, I have watched this in 50mph gusts and consider it good for probably another 30 mph again.

Tnx!

Don't worry.. I will generate a count-down timer and you can check.

Haha. Yes OK!

Yeah.. My fav would be a compact linear loaded halo style 80m..

Yes, I will need to price it al up..

Tuners.. OK. I'll keep it easy to understand and low-tech!

Super look forward 👍

Steve, sounds like you have a sorted system!

Don't worry.. Batch #2 will be out within another 3-weeks.

Thanks!

@@DXCommanderHQ Will help my pal Ron (PA7CT) set one up as soon as he gets his.

Neil, Send a version of your "how to" with some pictures to me. I would like to see it! qrz (at) m0mcx. co. uk

Radials.. I need to do some testing but honestly, I have a strange feeling, we could probably go down to about 1m long.. With this as a test, we can try it soon.

@@DXCommanderHQ I have so much information to try and absorb. So I'm really sorry if it seems like an ignorant question. I have watched several of your videos on the antenna but not all. I can actually probably find space for the radials. I live in the middle of an urban housing estate. Which actually has pretty good elevation that I'm almost on top of. My garden is 'average' probably something like 12 X 10m. It is surrounded by wooden fences and other bricks and mortar buildings though. I'm hopeful this could be my antenna solution. ❤️

@@PRODIGY5369 The Classic worked well for me in a similar space (as my first antenna), I imagine this will be great. I was looking to pole mount my classic and bury the radials in the near future - might consider this one as an upgrade as its less bendy.

@@Daeve42 thank you David. Yes, the rigidity and not requiring guy ropes definitely is appealing. Plus I'm really interested in 10 & 12m. It's good to know that a similar solution worked for you 👍 M7GDZ

Talk about a happy antenna!

@@jonthebru oh yea it'll be happy... salt water, windy every day LMAO - i have stainless steel on the each that rusts lol

OK, so totally unguyed 12.4m in my opinion is just a bit too much as a telescoping pole. I guess you could do it with very heavy fiberglass scaffold pole and a smaller one out the top.. Big.

They *DO* work.. See my INstagram accoun t and also Gallery page on the new dxcommander dot com website./. Frankly, I was amazed!

Yes. We tested 1,500W on 20m and 10m last week for 65 seconds. Absolutely zero effect.

@@DXCommanderHQ when does this new signature 9 M go on sale? I’m ready to purchase! 73 W3GUY

Maybe.. But honestly, uness you have been watching a recent video (from a guy who should know more) you are possibly barking up the wrong tree. I digress. Anything works. It's just how well you want it to work. Be aware that tuned radials is a BIG subject. Best to read Rudy Severns papers on that one..

Er.. Portable? Probably OK if the wind is low..
