CB Whip on 20 Meters? This Shouldn't Work... But It Does! #pota #hamradio #antenna #hamjazz
This is wild-using a 34-36 inch CB whip antenna on the 20-meter ham radio band sounds impossible, right? Well, it shouldn’t work... but thanks to the magic of Marty’s Mad Dog Coil, it absolutely does! This beautiful coil is the secret weapon that makes it all possible.
Join me as I take this unlikely antenna setup into the field for a POTA (Parks on the Air) activation. I’ll show you how I tuned this tiny CB whip to resonate on 20 meters, and we’ll put it to the test with some surprising results-contacts I didn’t think were possible!
🔹 A CB whip that’s only 34-36 inches? Really?!
🔹 The magic of Marty’s Mad Dog Coil-this thing is a beauty!
🔹 Field test results: hits, misses, and some real surprises!
This video is for every ham who loves experimenting with antennas, testing limits, and proving what’s possible with a little creativity. Sometimes, the smallest setups can achieve the biggest wins.
