WIth a 3-day weekend and my music obligations out of the way, I decided to put the PAR (now LNR) End-Fedz 20 meter antenna up in the back yard. In hindsight, I should have checked the band conditions before doing so, because as you'll see, the HF band was not cooperative. I can't remember when 20 meters was so noisy as it was today (8 October) but I decided to persevere and go ahead and try to make a couple contacts in spite of the very poor band conditions. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that "if I could hear them, I could pretty much work them". Again, the band conditions were far from optimum - but I think this video is proof that the PAR/LNR EndFedz antennas are excellent antennas for portable or emergency operations. I'm very happy to have one in my "ToGo" box!
I had fun doing this video. I hope you enjoy watching the fun. :)
