Picture of the WIP, but ready to test prototype . Despite what the camera perspective suggests, it's approximately 38" overall length without being extended.

The end goal is that it will work for 20m - 6m, mounted on a fiberglass mast.

Anyone in ditch and rely on an for local TV? What stations are you able to pick up? What kind of antenna do you use?

(Looking to cut the cord but anxious.)

I realize they're not magic and that crap antennas are still crap antennas, but what are the internal mechanisms that allow antenna tuners to do their thing? How do modern digital models sense and know what decisions to make to improve the match? Also, makes them cost as much as they do? I've noticed many antenna tuners are quite expensive. Explain it to me like I'm five. Links welcome.

Went and attempted to activate k9222 this weekend but didn't have any luck. 5w QRP with coil loaded vertical is tough. Made 6 contacts so not a total loss. Made a too.

Bit of a shame its an Android (phone) app, but if you are interested in DIY building, this looks pretty interesting.

WHEN HOLLYWOOD GETS HAM RADIO WRONG!

Movie: Frequency
Starring Dennis Quaid and a Heathkit SB-301 RECEIVER
In the movie the 301 was portrayed as a TRANSCEIVER

@Stephan nou was eerst toen en nu . Dat is wat minder en geeft niet goed beeld van stabiliteit. Verder betere opties dan zoals

Thank you to everyone here that has helped so much for the work. It will be presented at academy in September.

This is a shortened antenna that uses a meandered or linear load instead of coils or capacitors. It's a design with a long history but is not as well known as it should be.

@M0YNG I mention you and this server in the presentation, and recommend hams to come here.

It's a real privilege to have such a positive and supportive community.

Acquired an extension pole with a standard broom thread on the end. Thinking it would be neat to try out putting a 3D printed adapter up there -- dipole center? Any existing models?

Hey lovely folk of , I am planing to make a field portable / for maybe up to 20 meter. I am considering several design choices and came by with the idea of vertical moxons hung from fishing poles. I wonder how this would compare to horizontal and higher hung . Interwebs gave me no answer. I aim to make it simple and compact and vertical idea is good for that goal but I want this to be my efficient antenna so... Any ideas?

Also I tried a similar thing with UV82-HP and the same cable interface connected to a Raspberry Pi with various packet software, performance was terrible compared with higher priced radios. They are what they are, cheap fun.
