I have trouble figuring out the gray area of control operator and call-sign ID's, what with repeaters, club stations and Field Day calls and Special Event calls. Can you legitimately use W1AW when the base station is transmitting the CW study transmissions? Is there a special certification for that, or can something like a club call be used at 2 different locations?
What mast is that? That's an important piece of info for folks looking to use this portable. There are very few masts that can hold up 10-15lbs in the field. Please advise. Looks like it was un-guyed also. Looks like a nice antenna, but a bit tough to put on the mast with one person.
OMG, I’ve found something I can’t live without! 😂😂😂
Hi Walt,
Wait, you need a non-wire antenna? 🙂 Stay safe my friend. 73 WJ3U
I worked your station: well done and have fun!
Worth it compared to others I have seen. I'll be a customer next year. Saving up.
Nicely done video! 73
It looks like a fine device with really good range.
Hi Steve,
Good to see you. Have missed you a Gherica doing POTA"s together. Nice working dual band yagi. Were you using a Yaesu FTdx10? 73 WJ3U
Sweet. Y'all need to put W1AW on more POTA activations, don't let this be the only time.
We had a blast doing it!
Nice!
Fantastic.
Good demonstration video, thank you...fm

how about info on the tripod and mast ?
It works with any light tripod or mast. An inexpensive rotator may also be used.
Which tripod and mast were you using?
@@ARRLHQ sorry , that didn’t answer the question. In that video which tripod and mast were used?

It works with any lightweight mast. The antenna weighs 10.8 lbs.
@ARRLHQ Can you name one lightweight aluminum mast on the market? There are none that I'm aware of. Everything is fiberglass.
What is the ideal height for this antenna to optimize propagation?
We had good luck with it up about 12 feet.
@@ARRLHQ That's great news, most directional antennas need to be up quite a bit higher. Other 6m antennas say to put it up at 35 feet minimum.
