Thanks for the video, Bob. That was my store-bought and my first POTA antenna. Nice video. See you out there. 73 de Bill

Great video Bob. I am going to order one of the bags that you suggested. I went back and watched your ground radial video that you linked I had watched it about a year ago and ordered all the parts but never put it together. I had gotten the permanent CHA Stinger kit a few weeks ago but could not get the SWR below 2.5, so I think I am going to try your setup. Thanks, Jim

Jim, wondering if you use a tuner? Setting up the ground plane and achieving 2.5:1, I'd hit my tune button and go. But if don't use a tuner, then I understand to keep the experiment going until you achieve something under 2:1.

That is really a great bag. I got it a while back when you first introduced it in a video. It has become my go to bag for different setups and this is another great idea. Thanks for the video!!

1:49 Nitinol is a titanium alloy. The funny thing is that it comes back to its shape by heating, so if bad SWR means heating up, that is a self-tuned whip, I guess.

how much does it weight all packed?

Yes the bag is no good. I also have the full antenna kit which I like but bag tore apart within couple months and couldn't get another 1. So it fits in a harbor freight go box. Great video. Kg7fxn

Thanks for the feedback, this confirms my thoughts on the original bag...not so Super.

Hello sir, I have an ic705 and Xiegu x125b, the nominal maximum output power of x125b is 100w, I think this should be the ssb mode, have you tested the maximum output power of DV/CW/FT8 mode? Regarding the issue of cutting corners raised by some people on the Internet, I asked xiegu, and they claimed that the power amplifier tubes inside are still two rd100s. I look forward to your reply, thank you

I see you posted this question in my Facebook group for the XPA125B. That's where the experts hang out, and I hope they provide the guidance you are looking for.
