Ham Radio: DX Commander Expedition pole, Roly Coil Mk2 - 80M Vertical.

[@ZL1BQDRoly]

Now that was sooooo much better than the first effort with the threaded pipe huh :) A heap less frustration for sure. The "Q" is sharp as is every base loaded vertical hence the taps...... cheers

[@ohyeawhosurpoppy]

That was a great way of adding a "shunt" from the coil and having the extra taps. Many great antennas were developed around a "shunt" adding that touch of capacitance. I am curious what this application produces.

Very good Mike

[@ianxfs]

Good one Mike! I am currently on hol with my DX-C Expedition and the bands are dire and 40m is knocked out by local QRN. I now wish I had 80m, so will be looking a this solution when I get home. Thanks for the mk2!

[@mike-M0MSN]

Have fun!

[@ianxfs]

Mike-M0MSN Thanks Mike. Back today. The 40m QRM finally disappeared, so was able to get out 👍🏻

[@martinvanek5951]

Good one. Thanks for making the video.

[@theElderberryFarmer]

When one combines the products of the fiendishly clever minds of Callum and Roly on a kitchen counter, how can you help but have an outstanding antenna project? ;-) Great video, Mike. Thanks for sharing that! 73, KO4AZY

Hi Mike, Is’t DWC HDPW tube ? If not please tell us which kind it’s, 73’s

Hi Mike. I like your videos - great job. I love how you keep rolling and show us things that others miss or cut out. While it is not technically the best camera job it does help when people are trying to see what your doing. Good Job. At about 9:40 you do some SWR tests and say there is a sharp Q. I know its a pain but aren't you meant to walk outside and change the position of the taps before you move up the band to check the next round of SWR? I think if you had a tuner either in the radio or an external one you could position the tap on the middle one and the tuner should bring it in. If no tuner then it's a manual adjustment of the taps in reference to the desired part of the band. Keep up the good work.. Glenn VK2HTV - Radio waves TV

[@mike-M0MSN]

You are right, moving from tap to tap will widen the bandwidth, I was trying to show that each tap has a narrow width and as you say if you use an ATU. No need to move taps.. 👍👍

Mavilhosa mesmo top seus projetos sao muitos bons

[@mike-M0MSN]

Obrigada

[@brianfields4479]

Hi Mike, I see you made two 80m loading coils, one with taps at the top and the other with taps at the bottom. Does it make any difference which one we choose to use ?

[@glenmartin2437]

Thanks. N0QFT, Glen

[@markg6jvy135]

Mk2 is a much neater build Mike, how did you get the lines in the large pipe former, a lather or something? 👏👏👍

[@mike-M0MSN]

Mark G6JVY Local engineer turned the tube for me with a 5mm thread.

[@thork0tjt515]

Great video!

[@brenwyattm0rij909]

Mike, if the tubing was wider, could I make it shorter? I could 3D print it with correct ID and with grooves on. Great Vid !

[@mike-M0MSN]

Yes keep your eyes open for mk3.

[@sydei3ieb204]

Mike, your Mark II Roly Coil looks great. How did you get the grooves in the pipe? Great video as always. Cheers de Syd EI3IEB

[@dxscotland5901]

You could put a relay at ground to switch coil in/out so you can use other bands.How did you get the groves in the coil form Mike?

[@mike-M0MSN]

Gm4zji maybe with a relay.... Local engineer turned the tube for me with a 5mm thread.

[@battlestarone]

Where do you get the grooved form for winding the coils on or did you cut the grooves yourself,,,great video...73 de gm7jds

[@battlestarone]

Sorry seen that been asked,,thank again.

[@stewartrv]

Nice one! 73

[@ICEDoTDK]

Good job m8

[@claudem.p.7969]

Where did you buy the plastic tubing? There is no groove on mine. Which model of DX you have? I am forbidden to do handwork for a month now. I HATE YOU. 73 Claude VA2SOB

NO PLEASE. I am facing a divorce. NO DRILL NO DRILL BIT. You are really mean. I went through the pipe into the main cooking board. I am never going to look at your video. 73 Claude VA2SOB
