Excellent customer service

I was looking for a small antenna system for hiking in the mountains on a field day. There aren't any trees here to run wires through, so this seems like the bill for something that fits in our hiking packs and is self-supporting. Several items were missing the day the package arrived, probably a simple mistake that someone hadn't put everything in the box. Although there is no phone number to contact the people at Super Antenna, they were very quick to respond to emails. They apologized for…

Unsupported antennas

I bought these because the manual says it can be used indoors. There was even a diagram of the antenna that was in front of the window with all the radials on the wall. In truth, there is no way you can mount 7 radials totaling 103 feet to a wall and keep the ends at least 5 feet apart. I really wanted to like this antenna. I just couldn't get it to work. I even sent back my first purchase for a replacement thinking it didn't work due to a bad coil. There was actually nothing wrong with that as

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…

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…

claims it's a bit pricey, but it's well built and easy to set up and use. Boxes likely to contain resistors or other lossy components, it doesn't need a tuner as you set it up yourself in seconds and in one easy step. It's a great airline travel companion, allowing you to fit an entire multi-band QRP station into a small backpack or a mount.

Good compact antenna without customer support.

A good antenna kit if you are short on space. This is a compromise antenna so don't expect dipole performance. Also, a small guide card for setting the coil will help you get closer to where it needs to be. If you want correct SWR, you need at least an antenna analyzer or SWR meter. Remember that the lower the bandwidth, the narrower the bandwidth. With this device you get the full bandwidth at 80M without any adjustments when changing frequencies. There are many things that can affect the…
