Review on 📶 Enhance Your Mobile Communications with Comet UHV-4 2/6/10M/70cm Quad Band Mobile Antenna by James Auzenne

I originally got this to mount on a car with a large magnetic mount when I'm not moving, but it became my basic indoor antenna. I added about 19 inches of counterbalance wire and got an SWR of 1:1 at 2m and 1.3:1 at 70cm (without changing the counterbalance wire). I guess my second floor is a good spot because with 15 watts from inside I can easily hit repeaters 50 miles away. 6m has a high SWR and I haven't quite figured out how to get it down despite being able to adjust the antenna tips. I had to put some ferrite clips on the coax cable to be able to transmit on 6, but when I did I was able to hit a 6m repeater about 37 miles away. So far there have been no successful QSOs on 10m, but I think it's mainly due to the solar cycle; The 10m band is pretty dead in 2017. Pretty high SWR (2.5:1) and I need a tuner to use 10m but that's because I'm lazy and haven't tried a counterpoise with the right length have. I'm sure I can get an SWR below 1.5:1 with proper grounding. As with all antenna scenarios, it is not just about the antenna, but also about ground obstructions, positioning and tuning. Sometimes I even laid the antenna sideways and got good SSB signals up to 40 miles away. Not recommended as this puts pressure on the antenna, but possible. A 2m/440 antenna with a 19" wire on the outside of the ground terminal is an excellent base antenna. The best I've ever used.
