If you’ve got a problem, you’ve not asked Alpha for a solution!

I operated portable at Herb Parsons Lake near here in Collierville (30 miles east of Memphis) a couple weeks ago. Fourth of July Saturday weekend. I set up my IC706MKIIG and the Alpha Antenna system and used 4-25 foot radials. I was surrounded by some water about 300 feet away and was operating under a pavilion, with the Alpha Antenna about 50 feet away. Everything was pretty much in the clear, but with several trees around me in the park. I was on battery power using a 35 AMp hr sealed battery. I operated approximately 2 1/2 hrs, running about 90-100 watts. I was consistently one of the loudest signals on the band, bursting pile up after pile up for special event stations, worked west coast with ease, up the northeast with consistent 5-9 signals. SWR was low, and my 706 was happy. Probably close to 50-60 contacts in the period. Worked some DX on 17 into Europe, but some QSB on the bands into Europe.

The system was set up with ease. I clipped on the radials per instructions and just had a ball
with the Alpha.

Advantages:

• Super for portable operation.
• Consistent low SWR readings.
• Excellent antenna construction for durability.
• All radios happy!
• AA4DM on the air!
