POTA! Chelegance MC-750 Ham Radio Antenna, Multiband HF Vertical

The Chelegance MC-750 is a multi-band vertical HF Antenna for Ham Radio, that works very well for portable operations, including POTA - Parks on the Air. The Antenna is tuneable from 6-40M and doesn't require an external tuner. Take a look at this POTA activation from Galveston Island State Park, K-3013

Hands down my favorite antenna. I’ve used it for about 5 months now and it performs beautifully here in WV. Me and the YL did a 275 mile rove Saturday made 171 contacts.

[@gersohnepstein4530]

The MC-750 also has a coil available for 80 m and a tripod you can order from Chelegance.

[@HamRadio2]

Good to know

[@GPSJayDog22]

N6WIP - I'm new to POTA. I went to US-11125 yesterday. Now I have to enter all the data. What POTA logging and ADIF making software do you use? When you make 100 contacts, manual method makes a guy not want to sit there and enter data one at a time. I use the MFJ-2286 Big Stick and the MFJ-2289PKG Big Ears depending on wind with great success.

[@HamRadio2]

HAMRS is what I use

[@GPSJayDog22]

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Cheers@@HamRadio2

[@Michael_KD6TTC]

Thanks for sharing. I like this antenna, reasonably priced, and I see they sell a small tripod too.

[@1polonium210]

I deployed my MC-750 for the first time today at Bastrop State Park. Instead of the ground spike, I used the tripod made by CHELEGANCE. The antenna is very easy to set up and operate. I didn't have much success on 20-m, but 40-m was active, and the RX on that band with the Xiegu X6100 was very clear. The MC-750 might become my go-to antenna for work away from my radio shack.

[@aa3konthego]

Getting a coil off the ground significantly improves the efficiency. At least you have shade. Did a Labor Day activation near Philly. TOASTY!

[@dacodemonk]

I'm really liking that antenna.. Super slick.

[@HamRadio2]

Yep

[@dannybryant4440]

Where can I get a Instruction Manual for the MC-750? Mine did not come with anything that tells me how to tune it.

[@terrymoon6335]

I wonder how well this would work with the window screen idea versus the wire radials ?

[@HamRadio2]

Never tried those

[@chelegance]

Looks a very nice vedio, thanks Jason!

[@HamRadio2]

Thanks for the antenna!

[@williamgill502]

Great video! I ran into you earlier in the week at the 5.11 store. I thought you looked familiar. Small world KI5WXI

[@HamRadio2]

Oh hey, good to meet you this week

[@MrTommy001]

I just bought this antenna last week. I tested it in my backyard and it worked fabulously. In fact, it worked better than my 135' long wire endfed on 20 meters. I can't wait to get it out to a 'boony' location and hook it to my 30ah lithium battery and see how I do. I'm using a Yaesu Ft-710. Thanks for doing this video.

[@codesix7436]

Cool - I just got one. Haven’t tried it yet. Currently use an AX1 for POTA. CW only op 😉.

[@HamRadio2]

Nice 👍

[@k6lsn]

Whip n ground workin' good. Brings back memories from operation of N6L @ Lassen. Peace

[@barrykery1175]

Nice video, nice antenna and nice review. When it comes to ground radials, that is, wire laying or buried on/in the ground, they can be random length. They only needed to be tuned when they are elevated. The key to radials laying on the ground is, lay down as much wire as you can. For portable operating, I lay down 6 long ground radials. That's not a benchmark, it's just for me I am happy with the results. Barry, KU3X

[@ve2zdx]

I’m very curious about this antenna. We all know you can do the same with any 17 feet whip, but I’m curious about what they do to get 4 3.5 meters radials to be resonant on all the bands. I’ve tried that with the ss17 but it won’t resonate, maybe it’s the soil in my area. 73!

[@tulrich2]

I’ve been wanting to get a POTA-friendly HF vertical, and after watching your review I asked my wife for one of these for Christmas. She delivered, and I took it out for a spin this morning. What a great antenna!

[@route66radioW1WMT]

I can't wait to take my General with my local club in October so I can really stretch my legs. lol. Thanks for sharing! 73's KG5SLQ

[@ukfan-0146]

I've had several DX contacts on 10 meters using this antenna, and taking it to the beach next week for POTA.

[@travisdrake2940]

Man if that thing wasn't spiked it'd probably be over with the wind

[@HamRadio2]

Probably

[@robertmeyer4744]

That great. looking for that coax on a reel . do you have a link for that coax you used in video? looking to buy with the new 2024 DX commander portable antenna for parks on the air. 73's

[@HamRadio2]

This is a prototype, it hasn't been released yet. I will have a link as soon as it is.

[@ImHungryMK]

can you tell me about that desk mat you are using?

[@HamRadio2]

In this video, it is this one - www.etsy.com/listing/1437009639/ham-shack-reference-mat?click_key=2b8c14dade0382456cbbb17733333ed336c97c30%3A1437009639&click_sum=2eba160b&ga_search_query=mat&ref=shop_items_search_1&crt=1&sts=1

[@K9TPT]

I got you in the log today !

[@HamRadio2]

Thanks!

[@marcinmichigan2772]

What threads are used in the connection between the telescoping antenna and the base ?

[@NickkoG]

GP for ground plan, perhaps?

[@will6051]

Cool. good setup expiation.

[@justgrovin]

Looks like a cool antenna, but where did you get that big ham radio mouse pad? Love your videos. Learning tons from your channel.

[@HamRadio2]

[@justgrovin]

@@HamRadio2 thanks!!!

[@sethshapland5823]

Tough pad review?

[@HamRadio2]

Maybe

[@arkyump]

How much power were you using?

[@HamRadio2]

100w

[@frankthetank3342]

GP usually means General Purpose (not sure, if applies here)

[@russellwatkinson]

General purpose or Ground Plane ?

[@cfuselier13]

@@russellwatkinsonyeah it’s ground plane, all these portable verticals are ground plane antennas

[@jerryKB2GCG]

Can’t find “pota flex” at either website

[@truckinguy92]

I don’t think it’s available for order yet.

[@HamRadio2]

This is a prototype - not for sale yet.

[@1originaloutlaw675]

Great video!!!

Thanks
