Wat pole is that

The tension at the tip prevents the pole from collapsing. Another youtuber used a hose clamp to tie the guy ropes. When I put up a tent, I use a screw type tent peg which is driven in by an impact driver, if you don’t want to do any hammering.

How long of a wire? What frequency are you using with it ?

Thanks for the video. I have a TH-cam short coming out later today that shows my version after you have led the way. I hope that you will make more videos I really like your content and style. Thanks for the help. 73s.

Nice reviews. I hope you create some more videos. I really enjoy your content. 73s

Add a 1' tee at the bottom with 2 holes and pike it to the ground. Don't glue together, however.

That was VERY helpful thanks for posting this!

This is a great idea, thanks.

Nice

Great video! Thanks for creating it. 73 de W6OBB

but if you are in the field, hod does Pi get it's IP address?

Verry Nice

How long was that dx commander pole? Where do you get the top wire holder? Thanks for sharing

Love this vid,,,I'm a surf fisherman,,,and we use pvc, as sand spikes, for our rods, at the beach,,,if you cut the bottom, of the pvc, at a 45 degree angle, you can pound it, into most any ground,,,and the insert the telescoping pole,,,pound a 5 foot section deep enough, and probably won't need guying,,,,excellent vid,,,thanks for posting,,,LOVE field day, and POTA, SOTA, etc,,,,de NV1H😎

7m pole high winds?

POV: The guy next door ruining your wifi service

Great video! Have you ever had the pole kick out for any reason or does it stay put no matter what kind of wind or weight be on the pole?

what do you use code the guy anchors?

Slice the pipe vertically about 6”. Then Pound it into the ground. Makes your base more stable & Your guy wires won’t have to carry the whole load.

Nicely done....I like it....

Great video. You can also use a 2' length of ABS which is stronger than pvc with a 45deg or sharper slice at the bottom. Then slip a 3in to 2in hub with a 2' section of 3in ABS int that 2in piece that you pounded into the ground. Just another idea for you.

Great video idea with the PVC Mast holder! I'm gonna give it a try! My setup for Portable Op. is very similar using a TennTennas EFHW & a Jackite 31' fiberglass mast. I feel the Tenntennas EFHW is the best deal in town & works very well for me!

Wow! Very clever, thanks.

Cool idea with the PVC. I use the same cam locks. I’ve broken my Spiderbeam mast doing what you did though. It just can’t handle any tension on those upper sections.

I'll have to try those carabiners. I've been having good luck with arrowhead hitches for adjustment. The wire end terminator looks good too. I wonder how long it will take those drilled holes to eat through the paracord. I presume that you knocked off any sharp edges with a round file. If you got that pole as part of a DX commander antenna, you might get away with using the lowest guy plate directly on the pole, and not have to haul the PVC pipe along. (You may or may not need the hose clamp, I don't think that plate will slip over the bottom section. But you shouldn't have to tighten it.) But the pipe is good for other brands of pole, or a squid pole, etc. I step the pole on the head of a tent stake so that it can't slip out from under the guys. If the soil is hard, you may not get the nice friction that shows in the video. The DX commander pole bottom cap has a center press fit plug that you can push out (and save to put back in when you take the antenna down). Using the upper guy plate and more paracord could help with the amount of bend, particularly if you want to raise a heavier antenna.

I'm watching the video and I am saying to myself that I would need a PVC pipe with a large diameter because of the rubber cap I had to put at the bottom of my mast when the original cap broke. Then you mentioned shoving the mast up through the bottom of the PVC. DUH! Ten years of doing it the hard way. Thank you. I will try this out tomorrow morning.

Genius! I like that your mast has a loop at the end. Easy to pull out from the rest of the mast parts.

Awesome. Thank you for taking the time to post the video. Exactly what I was looking for.

Great video.

Nice demo! Thank you!

Question, where did you get the wire clip to hold the antenna? Great video by the way.....

Good antn

Is there a reason you did not use a Balun?

Just stumbled across these videos great content 👌

This Antenna is worth it every dollar you paid for. Lord Callum is a genius. If I look at the Trees and Branch Supports you having there I am trying to figure out how many forest squares and wire delta loops could find some space there. But it's probably neighbors property you can't use their trees to hang up a wire antenna. Your DX Commander is on a good spot to perform best possible as she can. May be 2022 is the Year we making our 1st Contact on one of the Bands. 73 & happy new year de Your Friend Uncle Guenter

Thanks for the review, it’s weathering nicely! Taping the joints is a good idea.

Nice video. Do you pick up the radials when you mow the lawn or does the mower not bother them?

I don’t connect the radial plate to the mast. When I take the mast down, I only have to disconnect the coax. That way the radials remain in place. 73 K7NFO

Nice review of the 1 year anniversary. I do hope you remembered to re-tighten the loose clamp! :)

Thanks. N0QFT

Thanks for the video. I am building a 4 element fan dipole for an inverted V and am looking for ideas for the center feedpoint as it pertains to tension and electrical connections. I realize this is a few years old now, but still relevant to my situation. Thanks again for the ideas. I have a 45’ tower that has a pulley on it to raise and lower the center and the end points will terminate at 10’ off the ground with parachord for the last connection to the tie points at the ground. My goal is to keep the radiating elements off the ground so humans and animals don’t touch the high voltage ends. My fan will be for 80/40/20/10 meter elements. All the best. 73 de KI5HXM

Thumbs up for sure!!! Great ideas, thank you so very much!

Very good video easy to understand

I'm building this one! Super easy and looks good.

SO, did it work or not? Why leave us in the lurch?

Excited to learn, thanks for your time

then question is ? it is work good ? you never test it how transmit is good .
