In this video I set up my prototype CaHR QRP EFHW antenna to do some testing. The antenna isn’t available yet so for now I test we are small and we take small steps. the antenna will actually cover higher than qrp so will be perfect for something like a G90. Even at less than 10′ horizontal I was still able to hear as far away as Hawaii form Chicago with very little noise. I was also able to make about 10 contacts in about 1/2 hour with 10 watts. I did also check the antenna on 40m and it seemed to get out about 300 miles or so. .Next time I want to test on 40m more and get more data.
