Review on Super Antenna MP1DXTR80 SuperWhip Amateur by Eddie Man

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best portable antenna! (Update)

Just went to the local park to check it out. It's delightfully easy to implement! Easy to set up! The swr rule lets you zoom in and use the parser to create the last bit. Easily achieves 1.2 SWR at 20m and 2.2 SWR at 40m. However, be aware that this is a very questionable antenna, you are sacrificing efficiency for portability. It's for field operations, it's compromised, so you need to create good conditions for it. It is recommended to work in very open areas, in parks, on the beach. Again, don't think that this antenna can do wonders. ------ Updated 4/28/2019 ----- In the meantime I've been to the beach to examine it, it can receive very well but not. send sth checked at home, still can't send which is weird. then I find out why. Installed radial elements must be lifted off the ground. I quickly pull out some disposable chopsticks, tie radial rings to them, stick them in the dirt, get instant DX contact with Guantanamo and Japan from LA on 40m at night! That seems to be the problem!
