Could you fold back/shorten the 80m extension and use it on 60m ?
I have a 80-6 meter line I want to get up, I live in an apartment complex so my installation is going to be more creative here but these were some good ideas for sure. I liked your antenna analyzer as well just wish they didn't cost so much.
You’ve been making some really good vids. KN6MCT
sweet test, thankyou, hadnt heard of that antenna, and also an interesting looking analyser you have. need to google that … de Dave, VK2TDN
Huh…i always thougt the feedpoint is the low end of the slope and the terminator end was up in the tree…
I really appreciate you for taking time to hook up this video about hooking up this type of antenna it was very very useful im Tyrone from Baltimore city, I'm mostly on the cb radio bands but I'm getting ready to get my novice license, hope to q,so with you really soon, until then stay safe you and the family,.Grave Digger, 660 state of Maryland,.10.6#10.7,.so long……….
Kevin! You always do an excellent presentation, and your videos are well done. Chameleon needs to give you a discount code to offer to your subscribers ( 😉 lol ). Look forward to seein' you out there. 73 de Bill
Does it matter which direction and angle this thing is oriented? Im seriously looking at this antenna, but im hoping to set it up as my primary shack antenna and hoping to have it hooked up to a 991a. (Would it work ok as a primary long term fixed antenna?) Like you, I live along the wasatch front and the mountains to the east kind of block things, so I'd like a setup to run sigmals both north-south and westward, but prefer not to set up 2 dipoles running at 90deg to each other. Id hope to run something like this all band either from my chimney to my shed roof or chimney to a 40ft tree or a stacked set of fence posts attached to a fence post near the tree. The tree option would be 45 degree angle west to south and the shed would be west to east.
why not put the antenna up without the leaves in the way?. That surely is changing resonance. Would be nice to know how the antenna behaves without the leaves. Im guessing whey you buy it, the leaves are sold separately!
Well, I would call that a comprehensive antenna review. You put a lot of work into that review, didn't you? I like that you don't do a lot of random gabbing, just the facts, and there were a lot of facts.
Well done, sir. 73. Steve N7SR
Great video, Very well done and very informative.. I'm looking to put up a good multiband antenna so this maybe something I'm interested in. Thanks for sharing.. Have subscribed as the way you do your videos is great. 73 ZL1MY
Awesome video! Thank you.
I just found your channel yesterday, so please forgive me. What mast and mount do you have on your camper? That is something that I am really looking forward to setting up for myself
Thank you for this. You really helped me decide to purchase this. I’ve been looking at this trying to make up my mind as to whether or not this was a fit for me.

I subscribed for 1 reason your voice and presentation is so much easier to listen to than most hams on YouTube.. pleasant voice and good teacher ..
What a great video! I have been enjoying your videos more and more. I think it's the way you present and the calming voice, but I understand and retain more from your videos. Thank you for all you do for our hobby and the community.
What multi band HF antenna do you use ?
Good explanation think much is covered here ,many misunderstand that reflected power isn't necessarily lost power as its reflected back from the source to the antenna by adding to the incident wave ,the feedline does play a big part in how much of the reflected power reaches the antenna, if low loss cable or balance feedline is used the percentage of reflected power conserved in the system and radiated by the antenna increases especially if a tuner is used to allow the transmitter to produce its full power into the system
You are a really good teacher. Thanks for the video.
Not quite 100% a beginners video.
Great content as allways! Thank you!
Can I get my neighbor sick if I put a ham antenna on my house
I am an OLD Elmer for some older and younger hams and really enjoy your videos, especially ones about antennas. Keep it up my friend. And yes eyes do glaze over at times but keep it up…. Eventually some things make sense even years later. Dave K8WPE
Great explanations and good information for all Hams. Thanks for sharing. 73, W9WRP
Excellent and enjoyable content. Thanks
I'm new to radio, seeking antenna knowledge. Thanks for this video. I have some ideas where to start building concepts.
The heading at 5:10 should read: How do I calculate the length of my 'dipole antenna?'
You went to the length (excuse the pun) of explaining velocity factor, thus making the antenna shorter, but failed to mention the all important end effect. This is very misleading, as people may take the 468 for theoretical resonance, instead of 492. Plus, it was a good opportunity to briefly explain end effect. This is very poor teaching.
Surprisingly, I watched a ham with one of the biggest channels on YouTube (and he's a well know antenna manufacturer) attempt to explain the dipole antenna, and he thought the subtraction was for velocity factor. He seemingly did not know about end effect! And he has a massive fan base giving tutorials, and they can't praise him enough!
By the way, you have just been audited by a CBer. That's right, I'm just a CB radio loser. However, I have an education and more than half a brain in my head.
I love it when hams define resonance as an antenna with no reactance. You're skipping steps, that is NOT the definition, it is a resultant of resonance, when measuring.
Good teaching and education must take place at the beginning of basic antenna fundamentals. That way, the student will have a far better grasp and understanding on the theory. This will help immensely as they continue on into other areas. It's almost like skipping Ohm's Law.
Nice talk !
