Amazing video

Thank you so much for making this video <3 You explain the concept so well ☺

Great explanation. 👍

Attach the wires securely on top with your DX Commander and use tensioned bungi cords at the bottom to make your adjustments. I did this with my Spider pole and it’s much easier to set up and adjust.

Very Helpful thank you for your time!!

Wow good to see a butch lbgtq member in the ham space.

The snap on chokes are preventing common mode current which can skew your SWR meter. They don't affect SWR at all.

Is the “standard” coil the Silver Bullet?

Lost it at determining the 3 and the 5 at the end

I wish they sold this with the 213 inch whip still

Thank you bro. Very detailed

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE BEST EXPLANATION EVER!

Great job 👏 This was the video I was looking for

Gr8 video, thanks! Something that i’ve done to speed deployment and be able to quickly change bands is to tape piece of string to the top of the telescoping antenna tip and along the string I have white vinyl tape markers with the band/frequency written on them. Then simply adjust the antenna so the desired band tab is aligned with the base of the coil. This avoids having to extend the whip while it’s in a horizontal position and raising it up, rather simply screw the collapsed antenna into the top of the coil, then raise or lower the antenna to the appropriate length. For band changes, simply slide the telescoping antenna down or up until the tap tab for the band you wish is aligned with the coil base. If it’s a breezy day, I will wrap the string around the telescoping element a few times to keep it from flying in the breeze.

I looked at your link online and was wondering if you had the tuning information for those of us with the mini and the 78 inch whip (sota special)I was looking at it and obviously it's a 1/8 wave antenna but I would very much appreciate any information you have on it

I wish I had seen your video before I bought mine I got the Sota special which comes with the 78" whip. Now I'm ordering the 213" one.

Glad I am not the only one! Same thing hapened to me at Wm. O’Brien US-2530!

Appreciate the details you provided. I’ve been using the 213 inch whip for 20-10 meters while waiting for a mad dog I ordered a few weeks ago. Been doing the lazy “magic carpet” ground plane with faraday cloth method, but quickly realized its shortcomings. The wind blows it around too much, therefore my SWRs aren’t consistently very low like yours. Did you ever use your coil on 80 meters? That’s the main reason I bought one since I already have a really convenient EFHW that gives me 40.

Can any wrc be used for QRP 5w power?

Well done!

Terrific video. Outstanding detail for properly setting up a portable telescopic vertical. Thank you.

Different color Sharpie permanent markers. Find the position for the sliding tap for the bands you use and make a colored ring around with the Sharpie. Yes you will have to redo it occasionally. Or you could mount a small square brass rail with the sliding contact. File marks in the rail. I think Norcal sold a coil like that in the 90s. 73s

Excellent!

Dave, great video! What is the radial wire size you used!

Why is the 1/4 wave length number EX 20m=192”. Why is it not 197, a true quarter of 20m. Its 5” short from true 1/4??

Best video

Great job sir 73

Thank you for this vid on the Wolf River Coil. I'm a new ham and this is my first antenna. Just yesterday I took my transciver, an Xiegu 6100x and the WRC out first the FIRST TIME ever to hopefully monitor a band or two. Being a beginner, the entire process betweem the antenna and radio seemed almost overwhelming, everyone on KZbin makes QRP look so easy. LOL Anyway I'm glad I came across your video when I came back. I'll continue to play around and fumble as I learn both the radio and the antenna. Thanks for the instruction and 73.

Bro no body cares

Nice G.O.A.T

Thank you so much for this! I am a new ham learning the craft and had my wrcsb1000 with the chameleon 17' whip and i could not get 40m below 1:10😢 hopefully this guide will help me figure it out

I just received my TIA kit, but I wish I had watched your video before. I have the lower-power default coil and the 102" whip. I'm putting in an order for the longer whip, but, with my IC-705, I'm not going to worry about the coil for now. Thank you again for taking the time to produce the video. It's very professionally done. 73 DE N2GJ, ABQ, NM USA

Best explanation I’ve seen yet…

Possibly the best WRC explaining I’ve ever seen. Great job.

Wouldn't using different colors of markers to label each tune point/band be helpful?

Where is the 'Link you promised in the Comments' to Your Radials VIDEO ?

Very informative, Thank you ! I just purchased a WRC Platinum today with both whips. I can't wait to get out next week and get going when we have better weather. Jim K2WPA

Excellent video, at last a Video that is understandable. Thanks Karl K3BSX

I require an amplifier to listen to the audio ..

I would be very interested to see how use roll up all the radials to prevent tangling. Thanks for this video. I am going to mark up my 213” whip.

Thankyou Dale, I thoroughly enjoy the way you presented and made this so easy to follow. My 5.6m whips arrived and will experiment on a dipole version but the vertical option is also very handy for field operations and going on hikes gave me the confidence of taking my gear up the hills. 73 & send more vids

I had trouble with it falling over with wind. I am in central Florida, sandy soil, and not always level. I got a small ground rod and cut it in third. Put a mount on one of the parts with a point and put that in the ground leaving enough to have the coax connection easy to get to. Here I can push it in the ground much of the way and then step on it to get it in the ground. I had a short piece of 550 cord that I made a loop to put on it to help pull it out of the ground. I also have the center load parts that give me two parts to make it longer. One of them will replace the coil if you wanted to do that. This may not be good for everyone but may help some people. Maybe this could give someone an idea to do something to help them where they are. I packed a small level to help put it in the ground level. For some reason standing above it I couldn't do that without the level. It may be because the ground wasn't level. The parts of the ground rod are about the same length as the other parts of the coil setup. Hope this helps someone get an idea that helps them. 73 W4DES

Excellent video

how much is a centimeter?? W5CI

Great video. My 2 daughters 11 and 15 have been improving their ic705 POTA station, the radials really do help. Recently they added 16 x 31.5 foot radials, as this was what was easiest to cut from the silicone 18g 250' of wire spools.

Thanks Dale, I just used my antenna yesterday in the field for the first time. Your ideas will be a great help to streamline things a bit. 73 NI4J

Thanks for sharing this. I love my wolf river coil. Cheers and 73!

Nice video, very informative, thank you. I will be setting up my WolfRiver soon. Glad I found your video. Also, like the information on the radials.

Very best video i've seen for this type of antenna. Thank you very much.
