Hi, thanks for the video, i have this antenna and the coils are ok, but I have 3 of SWR in 40m and I don't know what happened. I have dismount the antenna, clean and mount again and I have the same problem. sone one can help me? thanks 73

entendi tudo

Seems KZbin removed Annotations altogether in 2019. So this video is basically useless if you're not speaking Dutch. Can you upload a transcript?

Bedankt voor deze video , mijn CP6 had dit probleem in de 40 meter trap 73's Ger

Thanks.. because of this video I could repair my cp6s

It’s nice to see a room completely full of people who loved their hobby so much they opted to kill it so no one else can have the pleasure of enjoying it. Keep up the good work my friend! You guys are almost there! 🤘🏻🤞👍

Just had to repair my 40m trap on my CP5H, this helped a lot. Thanks :)

Parabéns amigo pelo vídeo antena

All, if you're not seeing the English annotation boxes pop up, check your settings. You may also need to add a browser add-in (like I did) to retrieve the annotation information. THIS HELPS GREATLY.

How did you get the trap open? I have a CP-6SAR and it looks like the aluminum tubes are press-fit onto the plastic ends and then dimpled to hold them in place.

Dear Stan, after 10 years your video is still useful, I first watched at it when I bought my used CP6 antenna in 2014 and I noticed that it didn't tune at some higher frequencies. Watching to your video I relaized that the central screw of the first trap is a Capacitor connection and that in my antenna it was missing. So I added the srew and the antenna worked for long time. Now after few years I tested the antenna and It doesn't tune to any frequency, it starts working at 50Mhz!!! Sign that after the first element all the rest is probably disconnected and probably I have to adopt your solution. When the weather will help I will go on the roof and I will dismount the antenna and will make you know, but for sure it will be something you showed. Thank you for all. Antonio (Rome IW0FCI)

Good video, thank You ...

Thanks for this my CP6 had taken a good battering, so i opened the first trap it was intact but i added the extra rivets and used rivets to reseal the trap. That part of the CP6 is very strong now and the antenna seems to cope better in high winds now

als?s

Hi Stan and many thanks for the informative video. One question related to the actual performance -resonant f of the trap- have u measured it with a dip meter or VNA, or you just put it back in place and check how the full antenna system performs? Many thanks again!

Hi, thanks for posting this informative video, I have a Cp6 and have a fault, how did yours manifest itself, mine has failed to tune on 15M. Did yours fail on all the bands? Symptoms?

so you can type in english but not speak english ? watched first 30 secs then stopped it, useless unless you speak dutch

Hi Dave, Tnx for the compliments. Don't be jealous it will only limit yourself. This installation is based outside a urban area and that makes things a lot easier. Btw the old FB-33 beam is completely overhauled by me and performs like a new one at my QTH for well over two years now. 73, Stan/PA8C

Nice choice in music tracks..spectacular antenna installation. I have to say I am jealous that I can't install anything like that at my home QTH!

Ik heb een paar maanden geleden een tig jaar oude CP6 overgenomen voor weinig welke niet stuk was op 2 popnageltjes in de 1e trap na. Wel alles vertevigd en hopelijk gaat ie nu snel het dak op. De kennis van dit filmpje gebruikt. Ik hoop dat het geholpen heeft. 73' Marcel PD8MJW

Nice video. I have a problem with my Comet H-422 with the SWR spiking. I need to take it down and do a complete overhaul of it and I had no idea how to remove the traps or what to look for but this video helps. Thanks.

@mango3586 Tnx for commenting on this video. I need more info to be able to diagnose what could be wrong. Why did it die on you? Wrong load, short circuit or excessive Amps drawn from the PS. Any schematic available? Just some questions from my end to diagnose the problem. 73, Stan

hello ,how are you MY friend. I,ve get same make power supply model No PS-12OM.ONE OF THE TRANSISTOR IS BLOWN,I CAN ONLY SEE BDV.....ON IT AND REST OF THE NO'S ARE MISING.I WAS WONDERING IF YOU CAN HELP US THANK YOU..

what???

@starman316 Glad to hear that the video helped you out. You now have a proper working antenna again at minimum cost. 73, Stan/PD0LUR

excellent video, my cp6 had the issue where it broke the connection in the first trap, now all fixed :) thanks for the video.

@24nov67 Unfortunately the design hasn't changed. However that doesn't mean it's a bad antenna. Problems only occur if there is to much mechanical stress on the bottom part of the antenna. If you want a multi band antenna like a CP6 you always can improve the imperfection by following what I have done. It won't alter the electrical performance but mechanically it's a major improvement that will lengthen the life of the antenna substancialy. I wish you every success in making the right decission.

Are they still like this or has diamond sorted out the problem? i was going to get one but don't like the idea of paying £300+ for an antenna that has design problems.

@kc7fys I didn't know the model of my OWN antenna. It is similar to this one. I discovered it's a Maldol HS-680S. Sorry to confuse you. Best 73, Jonathan KC7FYS/7J1AWL

@kc7fys Sorry OM I don't understand your question. What do you mean with "What model is it?" The aerial I fixed was a Diamond (aka RF Parts) CP6. 73, Stan/PD0LUR

My Maldol is this design, but it has 6 rigid radials and five traps on the vertical element. What model is it? I cannot find the manual. It's not exactly a CP6. It has only one capicatance hat.

@2e1ays Hi Paul, Thanks for commenting on the video. I hope you could understand what I did to improve on the construction. I agree with the fact that the CP6 is a good antenna onces the mechanical imperfections are improved. The CP6 is now working like a dream and the owner is very pleased with the results. 73, Stan/PD0LUR

Hi I had the same problem in 2005 and ordered a new 40M trap from the USA, Cost in total £100. Since then me and some friends have had the same problem, we did the same repair back in 2006, and not had any problems.a friend also bought a new CP6 and we had to do this repair befor he could use it. Very poor designed but a very good antenna if you have limited space. Best 73's Paul 2E1AYS

My pleasure. Thanks and I hope it's clear now. The antenna is fully operational again after the repair and the mechanical construction is drastically improved. One comment to make is to make sure that the weather protection on top of the traps is sufficiently so no water is entering the traps. 73, PD0LUR

Sorry for the Dutch comment on this video. Meanwhile I have added annotations in English so that it will be more clear on how to go about repairing the aerial. However, a good way to learn Dutch! hi TU for the comments. 73, PD0LUR

Very good have had the same problem but how much better it would be in English

Thank you for your kind words. We had fun for 12.5 years with him. Fly was a one of a kind dog and we have worked with him at the sheeps. He took the decission himself while I was walking with him and had to carry him home. Every day is never the same anymore.

So sorry for your loss. I lost my my border collie "Blue" last Nov 17th and it still hurts deeply and I suspect it always will. Smartest dogs in the world loyal loving and missed when they cross the bridge.

Hej hej, Dank je voor jullie reaktie. Gelukkig ligt hij dicht bij ons daar waar hij altijd graag was. We missen hem ontzettend en jullie kennen dat gevoel.

Very nice Stan! Keep those videos coming my friend! 73, Rob/PA3GVI
