Some sounds of 14 MHz/20 meter band this afternoon into VK (around 0600-0700 UTC). DX has been great the past week on 20m to Europe! Maybe a good sign of what Solar Cycle 25 might have to offer.

The BEST Multiband HF Antenna for Limited Spaces!

Post author By admin
Post date October 22, 2021

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.
