Man that's a great Vídeo, my favorite part, is when you hear a station calling using the phonetic alphabet Wrong like "Ontario sugar Toronto" and you respond "ok Oscar Sierra Tango"😂 great job.

Great video! I use wax-paper under the rubber booties. The wax-paper help to preventing scratches. God bless and all the best, 73

Fantastic 👍👍

Thanks Paul great job 73 from kb2uew

Excelente !

Hello Paul, First of all, thank you for introducing the antenna. I used a similar antenna a long time ago, but I discovered that it is very bad (especially on the 80m band) to use a magnetic base of any type. Unfortunately, the capacity to the car plate (roof) is far too small. Furthermore, it is too short for 80m to be any efficient. I would say that all bands over 40m work OK with it. I wish you and your family happy easter. 73 de DF7PI, Bernd

Thank you very much Bernd for this info! 😉👍 also for your comment! Happy Easter and 73!

Muito bom, parabéns 73 de PY1OTN

I bought the same Antenna as an „Outbacker“ right after my exam. It sounded very tempting at first. All the bands in one portable Antenna. However I do not recommend it to new hams. Rather have an EFHW in a tree or dipole. The efficiency is very bad of this antenna.

On 80m you have provide conterpoises or directly connect ground to car chassis.

Built off the old "outbacker" antenna from years ago...wonder how it would do on the higher bands?

Nice antenna! Do you think the outdoor elements will affect the open coil taps? Thanx again!

Hmm, no I don't think so. It may change impedance, but not so much.

Hi this antenna you are using can you use on the 27megs band cheers

Hello Omoet. Nice. May be try this antenna with uvk5 in rx ? With the sister card 😉

Sure it is possible :) Antenna on the car and connected to the UV-K5

That antenna looks very much like the Moonraker SPX-100. Only difference is it uses a telescopic whip to aid in tunning. Funny thing is I was experimenting with mine this afternoon with a nano vna. Best wishes David M0DUU

No, no, the SPX-100 is much lighter and smaller antenna. I have one too 😉

@@OM0ET ok, my antenna was given to me because the chap couldn't tune it. I discovered the wire link was open circuit. I have yet to use it on the air. Hopefully when the weather gets warmer I will be out portable again. Look forward to anymore videos you make on that antenna. Certainly work nicely.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏

Why don't they use fertile like used on Dremel tools to hold whip so you just undo nut and slide. Simple idea

It may be possible to couple the antenna to the car better without the rubber pads on the magnet. It would also possibly scratch the paint. Perhaps something thinner under the magnets would get better performance. Also ground the exhaust to the body with a strap. .

It should be also something RF conductive.

Awful and inefficient antenna.
