    I have used this antenna mounted on tripod and left outside for several years now. It is great!!

    Can you make this same video, but with radios? I am trying to find the best radio as a beginner. something that will give me lots of capability but also push me to learn more and how to use it. I dont want to exceed the radio in 6 months.

      Hoping to do one here soon. Have not had much time to dedicate to my channel for the past few months. Hoping to try to do one shortly after the first of the year.

    Looks like a great antenna. Looking to get one with more elements to chase the Greencube satellite

      They actually make one for the GreenCube satellite. I did a video with Arrow Antenna at Dayton a few videos back on the channel.

    Hello, and thank you for the video. I would be using 2 radios to do this, and I wanted to ask if you could show how to attach the radios. Thank you!

    best "bang for the buck" antenna I own. I also use it on my mast for 2m SSB/digital, "DX" repeater and simplex work. I've made mountain top 2M FM contacts approx. 75 miles with 5 watts. I heard the "Alaskan Arrow" has enough Db gain to work the MEO SAT greencube IO-117. Fast with Parts and shipping too, cant say enough good things

    I got the same antenna, sans duplexer, since I had one laying around, a great choice

      Thanks! It's a great antenna, very easy to work with, and has worked very well for me so far.

    Great Video ! Have seen many great videos of this antenna ! Hope to see a video soon of you connecting to the ISS ! How soon will it be before we see you talking to the South Pole Lunar Outpost/Base (Clementine Base) ? tjl

      @@smbrown thank you for the feedback. I plan to upload some good passes with this antenna soon. I do have a video up on the channel of my first ISS contact using this antenna.
      Most of the passes I’ve worked have been at night under poor lighting conditions, so I didn’t want to use dark video where you can’t see what I am doing.
      Thanks again for the feedback, and thanks for watching!

      @@joelaut12 it was clearly disclosed TWICE in this video that I was given this product to review.
      I gave my honest review after using it for the past month, as I do with all products whether purchased by me or given to me by a brand to review.
      I am not an affiliate of Arrow Antenna, so I get no “cut” from sales. You’re only supporting Arrow Antenna, a ham owned business, and the work that they do designing and building their antennas.
