Love this antenna

I love this antenna, the manufacturer makes no claims it's a bit expensive but it's well built and easy to set up and use. This antenna is nothing like that "EZ" thing (which the military probably never used), you don't waste power in magic boxes that probably contain resistors or other lossy components, it doesn't need a tuner because you do Set it up yourself in seconds in one easy step. It's a great airline travel companion that fits your entire multi-band QRP station in a small backpack or mount, and it folds up quickly without tools and mounts almost anywhere with virtually no bumps. no need for trees or other supports for wire antennas, it stands by itself on a level surface, no stakes, no digging holes, no driving nails or drilling screws, no climbing or running cables in trees or the like. Outlook. And then it just works, and it works very well. It is essentially a non-motorized screw-in antenna with a very high quality factor and an efficient design that delivers performance at 20m and beyond that is almost indistinguishable from a full-height vertical antenna. And vertical means a small coverage angle, and if you want to work with DX, it hits the wire antenna almost every time.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
