That’s some activation on some amount of bands! 👏.. Must get a 9:1 for the kit like yours also.. Still getting to grips with the X6100 and have never actually tried the tuner on it yet.

A whole new world awaits with that tuner Dave! A 9:1 is a pretty easy winding to make. Lots of videos on it. Give me a shout if you want me to send the one I used. Cheers Fraser MM0EFI

Good job Fraser. I been experimenting with that combo of wire too, OCF style and a short parallel feed line of 2 x rg174 coax twin lead. Only use centre wires of coax and clip it on at feed point down to ZM-2 ATU.

Great work Fraser. I might go down the 9:1 random route myself. I like my efhw but 20m of wire is a lot to mess about with if people are around. Good activation 50 QSO's 👏🏽👏🏽

Interesting session, Fraser, I can never seem to break away from the EFHW - I'll have to give a long wire and 9:1 a go sometime, no reason why its shouldn't work well with the ATU in my X6100.

Worth a try. I haven't done and modelling, but it could have better lobes on 10m than an EFHW, which is two full wavelengths on that band!

Hi Fraser. Had this going around my small mind for the last so many days. So a couple of things. Why 12.5m? The list I have if lengths are 10.97m and 13.41m. Did you have to trim it to change the SWR? In the orange tube is there a 9:1 and 1:1 ballun in there? Which would be more efficient efhw cut for 40m or a your 9:1? Sorry for all the questions 😊 If you was to do a SOTA in the morning and a efhw and the 9:1 was on your kitchen table which would you drop into you bag?😊

Excellent acheivement and would you use a 10 Mt pole rather than your 7 Mt to support the aerial ?, Pros and cons ?.

@theradiorover 7 ай бұрын
I would usually use my Sotabeams 6m Carbon 6 pole for this kind of thing. It is very lightweight and packs down small enough to fit inside a 15l backpack. I have a 7m Spiderbeams pole which is pretty strong, but weighs three times as much and is twice as long when stowed. However, it would still be standing in a hurricane! Cheers, Fraser MM0EFI
