In this video I look into trying to get the SWR better by installing a tiger tail to my IC705.
Don’t get me wrong the signal stick is totally usable but I thought the SWR would have been better.
SWR isn’t everything but I don’t want it so high that it hurts my radios, so I want to do some receive testing with these antennas and a couple others I have later.
In this video I review a nice reasonably priced battery operated ratchet from Gochifix.

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.
