In this stream, we’re going to discuss how to half the size of a regular HF antenna, how to squeeze large antennas into small plots, what is linear loading and how to use a loading coil.

Three different antennas could have worked here. My personal challenge was to fit an antenna into a VERY SMALL area at the front of a property. I put up the DX Commander Expedition Antenna and made some fine DX Contacts. Would you have done it differently?

Quick one today since we’re pretty busy! See you on the air, on the chat or just have a listen.. Callum.
Meet Dawn, my Big Sister from Vancouver. We are hosting a FUN quiz on Tuesday 27th Sept 21:00 London time (20:00 UTC). Come along and have some fun!
I get a lot of emails from well-meaning people who want to know if their antenna idea will work. I don’t know – but this video might explain. Callum.
As per usual, call me, join in or jujst cruise the live-chat. Callum.
Are Verticals Antennas actually "noisy" – or are they just doing the job we asked them to do? Let’s try and understand why this. Let me know what you think. I’m still not totally convinced eityher way. Discuss! Callum.
Shout if you can hear me or just join in on the live-chat. I’ll be in stereo again (I hope) left ear is transmit vertical and right ear is RX loop – I might swap keep up! Wear headphones! 🙂 PS – Using callsign M0XXT. Callum.
Major Upgrade announced for DX Commander. These replace all telescopic pole stay-up kits from immediate effect.
I have personally been testing these for the last 6-months. We are shipping all kits with these from NOW. That means if we have not yet dispatched your kit yet, these WILL be in the box when we ship.
