I never saw a follow up video on the counterpoise or on the air test. Cool looking antenna and good video. MikeinMinnesota N0WDM

@Ron_C 4 года назад

Yeah, sorry about that. Life got in the way and I haven't even turned on a radio in many moons...shameful.

@RobMacKendrick 5 лет назад

Great design! Quick hint, for you or others: fix the unun to the frame with nylon nuts and bolts. More reliable than epoxy and you can take it off again if you want.

@Ron_C 5 лет назад

Thanks! That is an awesome idea! I'll definitely revisit that tip this year....come on warmer weather!....lol.

@TinkerJohn_W5CYF 6 лет назад

Nice project...thanks for sharing.

@Ron_C 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@mabuhaydxstitchamateurradi9908 6 лет назад

Too many notifications I am receiving Ron, and I missed a few of your uploads. Time zones :) This one is I'll include in my DIY lists :) Great share Tnx 73 & MABUHAY! See you down the log...Like #18 :)

@cam-man7350 5 лет назад

Excellent job. Let's see deployment in the field

@Ron_C 5 лет назад

Thanks! Hopefully, if the stars align....haha, I plan to do more portable operating this year. I really want to do some more Parks On the Air activations!

@tangotracker5297 5 лет назад

Great little video on a cool piece of home made kit! Thanks for sharing! Just subbed!

@Ron_C 5 лет назад

Thanks! I really appreciate it! Incidentally, I recently created a new channel specifically for ham radio. I'm leaving these videos here, but the next amateur radio related videos I make will be uploaded to the new channel. I felt that most of the radio folks didn't want to be bothered with my other activities! Thanks again! Here is the link to the new channel. 73 de K4SFC ru-vid.com/show-UC-OJ2aGp03pPkKDVcY7LVhA

@k2cjbradio 6 лет назад

Nice job!!

@Ron_C 6 лет назад

Thanks! Already working on another one. I bought a 100w 9:1 unun...Just need to make sure I label them!

@mabuhaydxstitchamateurradi9908 6 лет назад

Ron let me wave @ K2CJB :) :) :) TNX 73

@MuzzleMike 5 лет назад

Giving me some ideas ! Just finished the Inverted V for home use . Oh one last thing . I will not be using my wife's saw . I own the saw in my house ! 😉

@Ron_C 5 лет назад

haha...She bought it, it's a silly scroll saw, the other saws are mine! lol. I made a linked dipole last year. I should make a video on that too....so many radio vids I should've made and didn't. But.....I still can!

@68cristian 6 лет назад

great video thanks for sharing.

@Ron_C 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Ron I really like that antenna system you built!! I need that to use with the QCX that I built!! Looking forward to see a video of you setting that antenna up and making some contacts. I have the QRPguys.com end fed 1/2 wave antenna kit that I built, but of course for an end fed and being that it is for 40 Meters it is roughly 66 feet long. It does wind up on the PCB that the connector is on along with an inductor and capacitor. Really like to see how that is going to work. Juddie WD8WV

@Ron_C 6 лет назад

I have a 100w version of that unun on the way and on the next one, I'm adding more wire, probably 58'. I have a list of "good" lengths of long wire antennas from some testing done..somewhere: in feet-29, 35.5, 41, 58, 71, 84, 107, 119, 148, 203, 347, 407, 423. www.hamuniverse.com/randomwireantennalengths.html

@kevinokeefe7796 5 лет назад

Ron C do you have a chart like this for off center fed or know where one is Any help would be greatly appreciated

@TheSmokinApe 6 лет назад

That turned out great, looking forward to the test video. Lol @ Rontenna

@Ron_C 6 лет назад

I didn't coin that phrase, all the credit for that name goes to N9YO. I've already started anther one with a 9:1 unun rated to 100w. Just need to keep them labeled!

@TheSmokinApe 6 лет назад

Ron C right, don’t hook that 20w to the 857

@Ron_C 6 лет назад

No doubt! I'm confident it's set to 100w right now..haha. That little toroid might get a little warm.

@TheSmokinApe 6 лет назад

Ron C for real, anyway great idea for an antenna. I dig it

@Ron_C 6 лет назад

Stolen ideas from other antennas anyway. Thanks! A lot cheaper than an $80+ alternative!

@hamradiocq 6 лет назад

Hey! I thought of the name for antenna. AlienDudeTenna

@Ron_C 6 лет назад

Right on. I just need to make some accents with some paint!

@mabuhaydxstitchamateurradi9908 6 лет назад

Cool :) Anything ...

@paulhastings3109 5 лет назад

Wanting to my my unun. Not sure how yet, this is all new 73 KQ4CDPaul

@Ron_C 5 лет назад

I got into these simple antennas after watching guys on RU-vid doing SOTA activations. That's actually what got me interested in Ham Radio. Being able to stop the car, motorcycle, bicycle, etc and quickly setup a quick and simple station is appealing to me.

@Viper6-MotoVlogger 6 лет назад

I would call it the pocket-tena. ;)

@Ron_C 6 лет назад

That's a clever one! Thanks for the comment!

@mabuhaydxstitchamateurradi9908 6 лет назад

Nice idea Vac :)

@Viper6-MotoVlogger 6 лет назад

MABUHAY DX Amateur Radio thanks!

@dogfishheadcase3954 5 лет назад

Thank you for the video. Can you post where you got the antenna wire?

@Ron_C 5 лет назад

Thanks for the comment! Here is a link to the wire used for this project: Davis RF POLYS-26 www.k1cra.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=DAVISPOLYS-26

@tommycheshire5508 5 лет назад

I have searched Home Depot,, Lowe’s, etc for 26 Hague wire with no success. Where did you buy yours? N4KBM

@Ron_C 5 лет назад

Sorry! WHen I moved (Copied) these videos to the other channel, the info in the descriptions were neglected. I bought that wire online-www.k1cra.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=DAVISPOLYS-26

@kevinokeefe7796 4 года назад

Can you post a link to the unun you are using

@Ron_C 4 года назад

Sorry I missed this comment! I'm pretty sure I bought it from this ebay seller. www.ebay.com/itm/KIT-QRP-Backpacking-9-1-Unun-For-Random-Wire-End-fed-SOTA-POTA-Female-BNC/333433575455?hash=item4da230981f:g:OwMAAOSwTuJYphSx

@WASRT001 4 года назад

Where I can buy that 9:1 unun?

@Ron_C 4 года назад

I'm about 99% sure that I got it from this ebay seller, but it he doesn't have any. Might be able to send him a message and inquire. www.ebay.com/usr/revgotchrist (At 1:45 in this video I show his call sign inside the box)

@kevinokeefe7796 5 лет назад

Where can I get that unun you are using can you post a link

@Ron_C 5 лет назад

Absolutely. Here is the OP who makes and sells them. www.ebay.com/sch/revgotchrist/m.html?ssPageName=&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2654
