Portable in the Harbor with a 40 Meter Hamstick and 20 Watts 

It's interesting that these HamSticks are either rated as a garbage compromise antenna or a fantastic miracle antenna. Thanks for posting!

Nice video and I hope you enjoyed the “adult beverage “ in the stress relief centre ( aka the bar )

Cq HOTA Cq HOTA... great job, sir. This is how we roll. We are able to make contacts at any time from anywhere to wherever it goes 💯🎸👍🙋‍♂

Geez, you live in paradise...

great sunset town ❤🌇

Thanks for the video, you hav inspired me to try a hamstick on a boat handrail here in Portsmouth UK. 73s

Love your videos! Thanks for including info on what hardware you were using!

Bought a Yaesu FT 891 back in September with Shark hamsticks for 10 & 40. The hamsticks work great. 73 N4TCM

Thanks

Well done, Walt

Enjoyed your videos. Careful with those adult beverages. Always a pleasure.

I have a 40 and a 20 coming hopefully there here today have heard good things about them

Nice, but the mfj-1979 17foot vertical with the open air coil is better. Lots more bandwidth at low swr. Look up mfj-2286

Wonderful

Great video! I am attempting to tune my Shark Sticks (I got 5 sticks). I am having trouble tuning them and wonder if it would be better if I bonded the metal together (haven’t done that yet). I first saw you on CAHR! 73 de KI5HXM

You should get yourself a kayak and take to the air on the waves. A well-designed inflatable like my Advanced Elements is stable and can fit into a car trunk. It can be inflated and launched in under ten minutes. I am still toying with how to add an antenna mast using the gear mounts on the back deck.

Enjoyed your videos,I’ve worked US & Canada using car mounted ham sticks beside the sea in Ireland ,it’s a great amplifier. Was the buzzing sound on the video qrm from the buildings behind you? Dave Ei3ixb

Like your video. Have you or are you going to do one on a pier?

So how exactly do the counterpoise wires attach?

How long are the counterpoise wires?

With all the discussions about radials, groundplanes, and counterposes, and the associated pain and frustration. I am surprised that there is very little discussion about the WRC Otophone mount. (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O8-vS3aJTTU.html). I bought one a couple of years ago and I love it. It allows configuration of 2 antennas as "V" antenna with NO RADIALS. I use with 2 - WRC TIA, 2 - 17' Whips, or 2 Hamsticks on same band elevated to 1.5 meters. QSOs from GA to Eastern Europe, Australia, and Japan. Big advantage - NO RADIALS. Big disadvantage. - COST ($$$) it requires 2 antennas plus mount and stand. Just my thoughts - AC4OW. What is you experience? Opinion? Keep the good information flowing.............
