I checked out the Mad Dog Coils 40 vertical antenna and it's a total game-changer, especially if you're using a Wolf River or Rez antenna. This antenna is super versatile and is guaranteed to become your new favorite.

I have less than $25 invested in my homemade multi-band coil, and that included buying a die to cut threads in my 1-1/2 PVC pipe to wind wire into to make coil. worksas great as either the Mad Dog or Wolf River Coils!

@N1JUR 3 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing your cost-effective coil project! It's great to see creativity at work.

Eric, what a great opening. I had a good laugh! I'm looking forward to being your guest on the upcoming live stream. It should be lots of fun! Cheers Marty VK4KC

@N1JUR 3 месяца назад

Marty! Thanks, looking forward to the live stream!

Hey Marty, got several guys now using the Mad Dog coil here in Mesa AZ... We are liking it my friend!

QSB?? Probably meant to say QRM. MadDog coil looks like it’s built very well and great that you can incorporate Wolf’s parts into it which makes it unique. I don’t care for my Wolf find it a pain. The other similar coil from REZ looks solid too. When you compared side by side you could see the quality and development time put into the MadDog. Thanks for the video.

@N1JUR 3 месяца назад

Andrew yes you are correct. In the "moment" my brain and mouth are never in sync :) Yea if I could get a Rez coil I would do a head to head comparison as well. Thanks for watching and hope to see you on the live stream where we will be giving it away!

Hey there, M7XTT! Thanks for subscribing and sharing your POTA adventure with me. Keep enjoying the wilderness and the radio waves!

I’m using the 80 mad dog similar to you. MD coil, WR large tripod, and Faraday cloth. I just received the 160 m coil (still in the box) that I’m eager to try.

@N1JUR Месяц назад

Nice setup! Can't wait to hear about your experience with the 160 m coil. As I have one as well and was going to do a quick review of it on Field Day!

@NovemberOneOscarGrouch 3 месяца назад

Old habits, lol. No more Kilo park numbers! Looks like a nice antenna, but I would rather use the EFHW where I don't need to tune band changes. That's my biggest complaint with the coil antennas. The WRC did it's job in the wildlife refuges though. Nothing allowed in the ground on in the trees, so a freestanding vertical is the only option. Keep up the great videos!

@N1JUR 3 месяца назад

Haha, old habits die hard, right? Maybe it's time to shake things up with a new antenna dance!

@NovemberOneOscarGrouch 3 месяца назад

@N1JUR video or it didn't happen! Lol

@slappomatthew 3 месяца назад

My 80m Mad dog shipped yesterday. going to use it with my Chameleon Mpas lite. it will give me resonant vertical from 80-6

@N1JUR 3 месяца назад

Nice choice on the Mad Dog! Can't wait to see your setup in action!

@N1ERA-73 3 месяца назад

Nice demo Eric.. just curious what was your power setting?

@N1JUR 3 месяца назад

I always run at 80watts for SSB. I should have maybe bumped it up do the band conditions but overall it went really well

@PD5RM_Robin 3 месяца назад

Hello Eric, I have tested the mad dog 80. Great coil❤ What kind of tripod do you use and what do you use to make it a center loaded coil?

@N1JUR 3 месяца назад

The tripod is a wolf river coil 24" base. I use two 24" threaded rods. Its the WRC Center Loaded Kit.

@mikeramsey9747 22 дня назад

I've struggled to get my mad dog 10m-40m antenna to tune using several different mounting options to get it to work.

@N1JUR 21 день назад

Mike, A couple of things.. how are you mounting your coil? what type/length of whip are you using and how long are your radials. if I know that I can help you get that antenna tuned. As its pretty easy once you understand the antenna

@ChaplainDaveSparks 4 дня назад

You said that the _Mad Dog Coil_ didn’t come with all the accessories, so you used the ones you had from _Wolf River Coils._ Assuming you hadn’t made the initial WRC purchase, would you still purchase the WRC accessories to go with your _Mad Dog?_ *73 de AF6AS in **_“DM13”_** land*

@N1JUR 3 дня назад

In terms of having stock its a tough one. As I know WRC and Rez frequently have supply issues. So I would go with who's got stock. But the nice thing is that parts are very interchangeable as the coil allows for ground radials, has a bypass and is a 10/24 thread so you have options for other mounts from other manufacturers.

@WQ9V 3 месяца назад

I am looking forward to the live stream. I also have a WRC and have been looking at the mad dog coil. What time of the day will you have the live stream? WQ9V 73

@N1JUR 3 месяца назад

The live stream will be around 7pm tomorrow. Keep an eye on the channel for it!

@williamkizer3445 19 дней назад

What’s the Q on that rig ,we want to know 😎

@N1JUR 15 дней назад

William I don’t have those numbers personally so I reached out to the designer himself and here is what he said. “I don’t have Q numbers that I can publish as these vary with specific frequency and I don’t not have professional LCR test equipment to be able to certify such Q values, but like any 107 uH inductor in a vertical antenna configuration the more inductance the higher the Q. The bandwidth on the 80 meter band using the 80 model and a 17ft whip to be within SWR 3.0:1 range is 250khz. At the middle of this sweep the SWR dipped to 1.2:1. Hope that helps.
