This is the new Rapide +PLUS+ that includes a new alloy base and cap and ground mounted post for guyless operation. Perfect for HOA or those folks that still want a no-compromise, low impact antenna but with a small footprint. Available direct from the factory, or from DX Engineering and also Martin Lynch.

A cage dipole is a number of elements spread out in a "cage" all connected together to make effectively a larger "skin effect" (surface area) antenna. John and I look at two solutions for wide-banding antennas. We also discuss skin effect and consider if this is the success of the DX Commander? Answers on a postcard please! Callum.
What elevation will this be coming in at. Suggest 1-2 degrees.

Emily M6ELM jumped on the radio and ran a few stations on 40m today later on my stream.. Quite a surprise!
Just cruising around and testing out a new layout blah blah.. Just for fun.
Fascinating concept about the potential of stacking tribanders horizontally and if this is possible, why can’t we use a PAIR of DX Commanders to achieve another 3-4dB in any direction? If you know the answer, let us know. See what you think. We discuss. 73, Callum.
