I would give this portable HF antenna a 10+!

Finally, a portable HF antenna superstar! The HD-FMJ portable has been an answer to prayer. Our group needed a rugged, realistically portable, HF antenna that would stand up to salt air and deliver outstanding performance. We’ve utilized EFD’s, “sticks”, “pokes” and loops. At best, we got weak results. Enter Steve from Alpha Antennas. He took the time to listen to our needs AND promised satisfaction or refund. He suggested the HD-FMJ vertical package and it came in three days. Our next “Rally Point” (field day exercise) was schedule the following weekend and we deployed near a sea side cliff with 12 ops for 8 hours.

The results speak for themselves. Over 200 QSO with farthest DX of 7JP!!! We worked both SSB and CW over the day making 22 states and 14 countries. This was our finest field experience in two years, the ONLY difference being the antenna. Super easy deployment, simple NVIS element/counterpoise adjustments (when needed), and awesome results with speedy breakdown all fitting into a padded heavy duty case. We have no idea what magic is inside the HD-FMJ base element but IT DELIVERS!!!

Ham Radio is almost always fun, but exceedingly so when energy, excitement and equipment come together in synergy. All of our members left with smiles, super pleased with the day’s efforts and looking forward to the next opportunity. Thank You Steve, Alpha Antenna and the HD-FMJ Antenna. Products like yours are part of what makes the hobby great!
