Unbelievable Portable HF Performance!!

A tiny whip antenna mounted on a tripod 5 feet off the ground? Yeah…sure it will perform…right…

Holy cow! Ordered this antenna for Field Day but set it up in my yard temporarily in absence of having a permanent antenna right now.

In these horrible band conditions, with 20m listed as “Poor” today, the contacts started rolling in. From Southern California, worked everything from Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas, Massachusetts, New York, and Alaska, right along with Nicaragua, Brazil, and Tokyo! Yep…Tokyo on a portable whip antenna 5 feet above the ground on a tripod, and that was with the “directional” portion of the antenna pointed to the east.

Not really sure what the heck makes this antenna work like it does, but it definitely works. I feel completely prepared for Field Day and then some. 🙂
