just a little tip, if you stick the mast up between some tree branches , it wil stay up and work very wel also. and no need for "trip wire's " :) 73 PB1RWZ
Great video. We have had some winds recently so stroll on Summer. Good luck with the brackets they should make a difference. Hope the council made a good job or cementing the seat in, Hi Alan-G8TQK
Hi Adam, zl3xdj here. Enjoyed your video. I have been trying bicycle mobile from our local beach salt water almost doubles the power. I was using a dx commander 10m pole Lashed to a bench with a 40m band vertical wire and a ground tuning unit instead of radials. 100w cw and ssb got lots of qso's into eu, scan and the USA also managed to work Dave G4AKC bicycle in blackpool from zl great fun. I have some info and video on my qrz page which you might interesting and Dave's page has lots of info. Keep up the good work, and don't worry about what people might think, you will get a lot of interested people asking questions hi. 73 zl3xdj
Hi Brian, thanks for the info, I also use a MFJ-1644 that has a ground tuner, it's a great bit of kit when it's not falling to bits, had a few issues with build quality, VK3YE has built a ground tuner I'm going to build one myself this year they do a better job than laying out lot's of separate radials, I think having a tuned counterpoise make's for an more efficient antenna.
The park bench and shock cord would be fine as long as you have the mast guyed about half way up. I just used a hose clamp and clamped the ends of 3 lengths of para cord to the mast...the length of each paracord should be whatever you need to guy it securely . In other words all three would be the same length. So you could bungee the mast, extend it, then peg the ends of the paracord in 3 places. It works for me.
HI,good video,its nice to go outside to dx, when the weather gets warmer i hope to do the same but with a 100 meter end fed wire, its all good fun,,,73 from Rotterdam
Good video Adam I have the same antenna and works very well, I’m interested in the battery that you had and would appreciate it if you could give me some more information about it 73s 2e0zwz Steve.
Hi Steve, it's a LiFePo4 12v 6a battery there's plenty of them available on Amazon and eBay, if you get one make sure you have the right charger for it.
Should get a Nebula Adam try man-handling one of those buggers ! ;) Lovely setup, really enjoy your videos. LOL@Golf course, Caddyshack spings to mind, but UK version 'kill all the moles on the course' doesnt have the same ring as 'gophers' tho :D Thanks again, great video ! 73 2E0FWE

Well done Adam, really good effort. You never give up!
3:25 I'm optimistic, I can see "predrilled" holes for grounding rods :D
