I made 10 x bunches of x 4 radials, just 7-feet long (2m) for my new Venture Antenna – but this would work for any DX Commander. Suggest going longer for 80m band.
BTW, that DX50 Antenna Wire is here: https://dxcommander.com/product/dx50-wire-by-the-metre/

Yesterday, I made 2 x videos and did 2 x Live Streams from Clee Hill – about 1,500 feet up. On the one hand I was doing 145-Alive (2M thing) and I was also testing out the new DX Commander Venture product – all tests and passed – tpo be launched soon. Up to 700W, TS-590 on HF and Icom 7900 for VHF. Thanks to the following stations for calling in…

Woo-Hoo!

WARNING… Flaky Internet!!

This EcoFlex 15 coaxial cable has been out in the field for about 3-years, hidden under some grass. Will it work still? Let me try – because I need it 🙂

I’m Remote from home on HF, just faffing about on my Saturday night!
