2E0MHJ - Perfect for Portable Ops
5 product stars

Bought this back in May but did not have time to test this extensively. This antenna sits in my car for rapid deployment whilst operating portable. I have successfully had contacts to the US and Middle east easily with the antenna. Tuning with the coil is easy and perfect. Perfect piece of equipment.

Received my Slidewinder DX kit a couple weeks ago. Was finally able last weekend go out to one of our local parks with our clubs QRP group. Even though after all was set up the set up leaned about 15 I was still able to work a guy in NE Maine from S Florida think I was getting maybe 6-7 watts from my 705 still made the contact. It hears very well, just need more practice setting it up. For a first time I m not complaining. Thank you for a great product de AI4HO!
