Neat little aerial, but I don't think I would use it all the time, but for a quick portable use it is ideal. I am curious if the counterpoise will make a difference or not. I wait to see if you contact others to see how good it performs! Thanks for a simple straight forward video.
Looks a great antenna, i may look about, ideal for what i need for my x6100 for all modes etc and no messing with big antennas, yes it won't be as good for transmitting but data modes and the right conditions would be fine. Ideal to pack light for holidays etc. Not many about these days! Shame there so expensive for what they are
Well done Jez, hopefully get to work something on it on your next outing with it. Interesting to see if the counterpoise makes a noticeable difference. Happy new post-lockdown hairdo too isn’t it 😉👌👍
Good video Jez. I have the original Miracle Whip and I've had some success with it. When you add a counterpoise you will notice a difference. All the best and keep up the good work. 73 Chris M0RSF
I would like to try it on FT8 and see what happens but the bands are flat at the moment. when they pick up ill try the counter poise wire and see what happens.
Hi what you do is tune for the loudest signal then you can keyup if the radio says the VSWR is high just turn the dial 2 steps to the left or right it will bring it tune
