G'day Roly, thanks for making this video mate. What a total blast. I couldn't believe it on my tape measure antenna having a DX pile up - and getting a "paaaak to paaaak" in ZL. I'll be back in Oz mid March. Hope to hear you on the radio. Woohooo! POTA ON

@ZL1BQDRoly 6 месяцев назад

POTA GOLD for sure Simon. Thank you for sticking in there and making it happen, not easy when you are trying to hold back a JA pileup at the same time. Cheers

DO NOT keep the unused coax cable rolled - it will choke your signal and create all sorts of transmissions an SWR issues! Simply spread it a 90 degree between the antenna and your radio. Also, do not cross the coax with your counterpoise/radials.

@ZL1BQDRoly 6 месяцев назад

Do you have source for this info please? Strange that manufacturers sell their coax cable on drums......

@KQ4GUY 6 месяцев назад

@Chameleon_Antenna I keep the choke and feedline elevated out of rain and other mixed conditions by keeping it on the spool, and cover the spool connections from the inclement weather. In tight conditions like on trails I apply push-on PL-259s in case someone tracks over the feedline. It protects both the antenna and radio. I guess moving forward I will carry a 15 foot feedline for those conditions. Utility flags are feedline's best friends, but some people still walk on them.. Where we activated in this video sure enough we had a group of kids come over near the antenna even though we were attempting to deploy away from foot traffic. POTA always presents operating conditions outside your control. Cable companies offered advice to spool to extend feedline lifespan and minimize damage on the storage of the lines. Going forward when deploying my 50' cable I will take your advice of fully extended 90 degree runs. We appreciate your input in our quest to be better field operators!
