Impressive HF Slidewinder aerial system

[@m0bob]

I just ordered one this evening. A Christmas present from my wife 👍

Great video, however, i wouldn't be a west country lad without pointing out that, that wasn't a combine harvester that was a sprayer ;) But anyway, great video, dont see many on this coil so glad someone has done one. 73's M7TLT

Ha ha I would take your word for it. Thanks for watching my friend

[@ae1tpa92gwtom2]

Thx for this Video, I have had the Slidewinder for a short while now, n liking it just fine!! I use it primarily to get my telescoping MFJ 1979 to work 40m, cheers 😀

[@digitalanaloguehamradio]

thx for backing me up, its a great product, cheers

[@AmateurRadioUK]

Nice! I keep threatening to get my Ampro Hamstick for 20m out but life & work always gets in the way. I might make a point of stopping at a WWFF (or maybe a POTA) on my way home from work tomorrow evening & attempt some greyline DX.

[@digitalanaloguehamradio]

Yes use the ham sticks they are very good. HF mobile is a lot of fun thanks for watching

[@thomasrossow2130]

Hey there, nice Video thanks for that. One Question ... what kind of adapter do you use between the magnetic Socket PL to the Slidewinder Coil 3/8 Zoll? 73 Thomas dc5ly

[@digitalanaloguehamradio]

Use an adapter like this www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392113209895?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ss_kxe_nSCm&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=tGQUWfHPS7-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

fantastic antenna thanks 73 from kb2uew

[@digitalanaloguehamradio]

Thanks yes it’s a wonderful aerial highly recommended

[@TheNoCodeTech]

very cool

[@JonathanCreaser]

Great video, thank you. How difficult is it to get the triple mag mount off your car roof?

[@digitalanaloguehamradio]

Very easy you lift one of the circles upwards. Which will pivot the whole mount on two magnets. And with a upwards motion it will release from the roof

[@timg5tm941]

Hi Chris. You say you need the coax to be in a similar position and coiled up a bit for it to work ok (tune I presume?). If that is the case and moving the coax affects swr, I’m just thinking that there may be some common mode around somewhere?

[@digitalanaloguehamradio]

Hi Tim thanks for the reply. I discovered that I could get the same results every time same SWR if I had the Mag mount and coax in identical positions. Of course I could have just cut the coax. But making a choke has never been a bad thing and coiling it up worked well. Because I get the same results every time I have marked up the coil.

[@Tantalicdavid]

It will tune whatever way the coax runs Tim. Chris did this just to save him time setting up.

[@timg5tm941]

@@Tantalicdavid ah ok it was a convenience thing .. got it. I just thought Chris meant about tuning. No worries 73

Where did you buy the Telecopic Whip 73 G6yek

[@digitalanaloguehamradio]

I got it from Moonraker. It was about £50.

[@600raficrow]

hi could you tell me what power output you where using on the 7100 to get puerto rico .. i have this coil on order to use in the sae way with a 9ft whip 73s julian

[@digitalanaloguehamradio]

I can’t remember exactly, but I never go over 50w

[@600raficrow]

@@digitalanaloguehamradio thanks for the reply i have purchased the slidewinder i will be giving it a try shortly may ry it with a yaesu 857 .. 73s julian

[@kazcat8096]

Hi that works well for you i have not got round to useing mine i am thinking you could get 60m on that set up i have a 17ft telescopic ant i must try when i have a week off in june good stuff chris G0WFH

[@digitalanaloguehamradio]

Yes good point Chris it most likely would work on the 60 m. But I can’t use that as an intermediate unfortunately
