Thanks Radio Ploggle, keep taking the radio tablets, stay tuned :)

[@geez-hd6dn]

Loved the mic 👍 How do you tune the SWR, do I cut bits off the aerial ? Thanks for your great videos.

[@OmarLemusTactic]

Where can I get a stethoscope?

[@stevet7522]

That mic you're using. What is it and where can I find one. Great video by the way.

[@LONGINTHETOOTHtv]

Hi Steve, Thanks for your kind comments. The mic is the excellent Rode Wireless Go - below. amzn.to/3v5YnHc Its still available but Rode have an updated one with more features but also more doe below. I'm happy with the original. amzn.to/3gVZl0q Links are affiliate - I get a penny if you buy :::))) Stay tuned Peter

@@LONGINTHETOOTHtv Thank you! I'm gonna go have a look.

What if I hang my vertical in a tree? How far from the tree trunk should I put the wire to prevent the tree from soaking up the signal? Thank you.

[@Stewart-HA5RV]

The tree won't have a big effect anyway, but if you are about 1 metre or more away it will be good enough. Or alternatively if you've got a tree that big you might even use it to support an EFHW and go over the top of it as a inverted V or a sloper. You might need a bit more space either side, the advantage is resonant on multiple bands.

[@brianfields4479]

verticals always work well, even a wire going up to a tree will work, don't need a pole, radials can be cut in half for small gardens, just use twice as many. 73 zl3xdj.

Thanks for that brian good to hear from you

[@NALTOdeluxe]

You all right? It’s been 4 months. I hope you’re doing well.

What kind of radio was that in the video? It looked like a Yaesu ft-840. I enjoyed the video very much. 73 AE4OY WILLIAM PEACOCK 🦚 EM-81UF Blackshear, Ga USA

In days of yore... 30 up and 30 out (feet) was consudered a good 7 MHz solution. 33' should also be tuneable on 21 MHz with an atu.

How do you feed the bloody thing???

Hello, colleague!This is Anton (ua3ndx), a radiologist, I share your hobbies, but I do not have a stethoscope, unfortunately... 73, before the connection!

[@ve9eearo]

Subscibed; thank you for this antenna design and sharing. Bob,VE9EE.

[@LONGINTHETOOTHtv]

Thanks for the sub Bob .. yes the simple ideas are often the best .. happy radio :)

[@ScientistPrepper]

This guy shows you how easy you can get an antenna with the bare minimum. Just remember his ground plane wires.

[@LONGINTHETOOTHtv]

Sure thing Dino77 remember them especially if they are lying on the lawn when you are mowing :)

[@TheMrGreenie]

I like it. Simple does it.

[@timsmith428]

..simple math states that it will have a good swr on 15 and 6 metres. I have built 40m verticals, and the antenna is a 3/4 wavelength on 15m, and 1.75 wavelength on 6 metres.. VE3IIM/VE6PG

If you don't want people to know it's a radio antenna, put a flag on top.

[@mattk.5258]

Just buy a DX commander.

[@LONGINTHETOOTHtv]

good idea Matt - but a bit more costly :)
