Ideal for apartment dwellers

Really great little antenna. I was missing an item in my accessory bag and Super Antenna was responsive and sent me a replacement the same day! Excellent customer service.

Cons
  • Clarity

I recommend this if you are not a ham farmer.

Works great with my KX3 QRP setup! Low power requires, REQUIRED, a really good antenna. This is the one I use down to 2 meters. Very good mobile or remote antenna. 73 kW4EC

Cons
  • Drill Pack

Exclusively used for FieldDay

I used this antenna exclusively for Arrls Fieldday 2021, I was surprised by the results. It's easy to set up, use the analyzer for best results. On Saturday I booted up my xiegu g90 and pinned my xpa 125b amp with hundreds of pins. Climbing the 8-foot staircase in the courtyard allowed me to reach contacts thousands of miles away. I contacted W1AW in Connecticut and got extra points from Texas, I made contact in Slovenia! The antenna works, a bit finicky with counterweights, but works even…

Cons
  • Some bugs

So far so good - stay tuned

I live in an apartment and used to have a Radiowavs 20m Double Bazooka inverted V which I got lucky with until it got wet. Keep in mind this is the only other antenna I have to compare against as I'm relatively new to this hobby. Also, please note that I live on a hill about 100 feet above average terrain. It's only been 48 hours and we're in the middle of cycle 25, but I'm very impressed with the MP1-C. Managed to lock onto 40m in less than 5 minutes with an SWR of 1.5. The FG-1 isn't exact…

Cons
  • Long delivery
