I’ve not had the room for a full size HF antenna such as a dipole, or even a G5RV. So I got myself a DX Commander All Band Vertical from Callum – the DX Commander and WOW! This antenna is so simple and allows me to operate on EVERY HF band using only a small footprint in my yard.
Verticals can traditionally be known as noisy antennas too, so I show HF noise levels at my new QTH.
