Another promising antenna project. Hopefully you could also do an episode about its construction. 73

Since getting involved in amateur radio I see every mountain as a potential antenna site.

Very nice place Paul! Thanks for sharing with ours, your wonderfum QSO/QRP experience. Greetings from Brasil. Stay safe!

Really excellent video again Paul. Very nice cinematography and editing. I'm looking forward to follow your shortened vertical experiments too! 🙂🇳🇴

Looks like you guys are having fun. Beautiful location and well done with the DX contact.

Beautiful nature, love this time of year.

As a Canadian ham, it was fantastic to see someone get excited to make a contact to VA/VE land. Great video Paul, intro and outro sound track and videography look like a big budget Hollywood production.

You're great!!!! I'm following all your videos and your projects. Like again and I hope to see another spectacular video. 73 from Italy. The show must go on...... Luca🤗

Great demonstration of a homebrew project. Thanks for sharing 👍

Very beautiful nature!

Awesome Antenna. Can't wait for the finished Antenna. Congratulations for #10kFollowers! Greets from Germany, Jan. 73

What an awesome video. Beautiful location. Beautiful, very well made and very nice looking vertical. Greetings from VK2. Well done!!

What a beautiful job! Both...

I have been watching quite a few of your previous videos. Your end fed long wire antenna's are great and inspired me so today I made one with a 9:1 unun and deployed it but not very high up and had great contacts using 5 watts and up to 30 watts for hundreds of kilometres in VK. I have a ATAS vertical antenna and am also inspired to get it out and use that too after watch this video. Keep up the great work. 73 de VK3FIMD, Ian.

Amazing cinematography.

Nice video Paul, and a stunning qso, congrats for that. best 73, pa1jpr

Hi Paul just want to say what a great video you did. The music was just beautiful and the scenery was just gorgeous even though it is winter. Congratulations on the homemade vertical and making the contact to Canada fantastic. 73 from the Texas Hill country WD5ENH Steve

Well deserved over 10.000 subs,brilliant video as always.

Your video has encouraged me to try QRP. Thanks.

Hello Paul & Pavol, I can see you guys enjoing yourself and mother nature a lot. And you doing a fine job radio portable wise. Keep up good work and always good dx. Hope to talk on air soon. Merry x-mas and stay safe. 73's de Günter

Brilliant Video, great to be outdoors portable... Mike G8POL Nottingham, UK

Hallo, I seldom comment on YT but I really liked this video, so here we go: good music, great landscapes, nice drone footage, pleasant to heat voice tone, fun to watch your success gesture after the dx. I watch your channel since I'm interested in portable and easy antennas, but your countryside walks are good too :) 73 de EA5JDG

Great video- would have been nice to see more detail on how you built your vertical antenna. Perhaps you already have a video on that. Your videos are always inspiring.

Another great video Paul. Congrats for the nice work. You still inspire others to make this a very special hobby. Thks

A fantastic radio day. Beautiful landscape. 73 de ca3pdb. Good DXs

Wow good Job my friend👍

Great video Paul, I am liking that vertical design. But at that location you were at- I'm thinking what could I do with all those tall trees and a long wire-LOL. What Beautiful countryside you have! Job Done- Well Done. Barnie M7PBX.

Very Nice vídeo from OM, tnx Paul cuagn 73 de PY2DM

Paul, the reason you just passed 10,000 subscribers is right here; another wonderful video. This day sure looked like a lot of fun. Nice cinematic feel to the video, as well. Great work and thank you...73! de WX0V

👍🏻👍🏻

Good result! 73

Nice! Way back when, I had some HAM friends whose field trips I attended as a guest. And I helped to calculate the club vertical dipole antenna supports for optimum wind tolerance. But the reason for this comment is one of the field trips that was made to the top of a hill. The connections obtained were disappointing -- again, as they admitted. Somebody revealed that they had much better experiences below the hill! The reason was pretty evident, when I looked around. The hill had a granite core and dry gravel overcoat, while the soil below the hill was nice moist clay underneath and farm fields on top. We did not have a good Ground for our antenna up there on the hill.

Nicely done video. Awesome contact with Canada, my record distance so far is 2400 miles can't wait to get a long shot like that.

Excellent SV2YJ 73s

Beautiful area. Thanks for sharing. 73 de N4WLC

❤️

I like this antenna, I have to make my own one. 73!

For some silly reason i am not one of your subscribers... I am now! Superb video, great production and result! Look forward to future videos 73.

beautiful place to play radio

I'd like to see a video of how you took and edited in all your drone shots :) By the way, the music was beautiful! 73 KJ6ER Silicon Valley

Icant believe,this sport still exist.OMG I remember Amateur Radio hordes on my shelf. This is how comunication start an,when internet ll'be belly up ,there will also end :D,

Good job OM De a71br best regards

Tnx fer the nice music instead of the funky junk most videos have

Thanks for taking us along with you. K7WHN Joe

7000 Km with 30W is indeed a very good qso :) ! Great !

Hey Thanks for driving a Ford, hope our product serves you well, 73

Супер!

Antenna looks similar to the HF-P1 or Outback. Nice video.

Wow... Love the way you presented the content, sooo epic and cinematic! 73! YD2UBK

Just shows with power a little can go a long way👍🤗🐻🐉

Greetings Paul, congratulations on your homemade vertical antenna. I'm so sorry I didn't hear you when you called me (14:15 minute of the video). I'm Nelson, EA3IBV. My antenna was beaming to North America and had a bit local qrm. Until a next contact colleague. 73!

Great Video! Love all the views of the countryside! Plans/Numbers for the turns, diameters and taps? Looks so we'll done! Small World...

Nice contact to canada my best was new zealand qrp mobile on 11m 5/5 but great fun

It it amazing the home made vertical antenna...My call sign is HL1MQY Seoul Korea....Enjoy the HAM Radio...

Hi Paul congrats on the 10K subs! I have a similar setup but I'm using multiple elements on a 9.5m fibreglass pole based on DX Commander classic. I set it up in my garden and with some extra elements it's resonant on 160m, 80m, 40m, 20m, 24m, 17m, 15m, 12, 10m & 6m with no tuner except for tweaking some for 1:1. If I take it portable it's usually just 40m and up or 80m if I add that element as a inverted L.) Have a look at the DX Command youtube channel and Callums web site. I think you'll like it. I think for 20m you can make your antenna work as a normal 1/4 wave vertical if the MFJ is 5m long. Try making it 4.82 meters long and see how it does on SWR. 73!

Hey Paul. How do you think does the shortened vertical compare to your mag loop? I'll become an ham op and with novice license I can use 160/80/15/10m of the hf bands in my country. My space is a little bit restricted for wire antennas. So halfwave on 80m would be in neighbour's garden and I also can't get much higher than 10m above ground. tnx

Great job again. TA5LVC

Great antenna. I would like to make a coil like that too!

Nice ! Wish I was your Canadian contact ! Ve2tlx, 73 !

Another good vertical antena is helicoidal ,i use it for movile station like the video.is e wire of 1/2 wave ,wrap over a pipe of plastic water tube .some radials ground may be put.the inpedance is 50 ohms.

Great QSo's!!! One question, can you share the project of this antenna? Many thanks!.

Génial. J'aimerais fabriquer une antenne comme celle-là. Avez-vous les plans? Bravo pour votre travail

I always find it funny when someone is calling CQ 20 meters while on the 20m band as if anyone who might answer doesn't know what band they are answering him on. 😁

Hi, nice video. What battery model did you use in the test?

You need a Slidewinder DX Coil Paul for that 1979 vertical.

Congratulation on your 10K subscriber! That's really interesting as you running 50 watt or may be 30 - 20 watt in making DX contact, the battery must be efficient. What's the specification of your battery?

Hello, nice Antenna. How have found this Long Teleskop Antenna?

73 my frend, PT7OM

Good job guys. Všetko najlepšie and vy73 de DF2EAN ... (I've also low power videos on my channel)

Congrats. Nice video. Great contact in Canada but where were you located? I might have missed it in the video but I just heard you were in the woods :)

dear colleague OM. I saw the interesting video of the vertical antenna. I am interested in buying the antna. Where can I get it?? what is the value??

Where can i buy the telescopic part ? 73FM

I would like the plans for this antenna please if possible? Good job!
