Hi Matt, I’m a new M7 and love your videos you say it how it is, and have made me realise I’m not the only person who continually thinks how can improve and what if I tried this. Please keep up good work and posting 73s

Looking at this antenna it looks the biz and loving the reviews from people and all the good things being said about it. This vid really made my mind up for me as I see it works well on your IC 7300 so I am 100% sold. Currently have a IC 718 which I am going to use for just portable once I get the IC 7300. Thanks for posting this vid, really great to see it in action. 73 de M7LTG. have a great Christmas.

Hi Matt, I have the same situation here. With the new ofcom regs coming in have moved my feedpoint to 5m above ground and antenna goes up to 8m then back down to 4.5. I have a footpath up the side and across the back so preparing for ghe future. I installed a 1:1 choke balun near feedpoint to reduce any rf on the coax outer, choking between 40 and 60 db. Will let you know when I am finished. Steve M0IJW

Nice video many thanks. I am considering getting this antenna myself. Can I ask why you didn't put the 49/1 transformer end near the house/shack so you only have a short run of coax? Also have you considered adding an earth rod, I know it isn't needed strictly for this antenna type, but I read it can help bring down the SWR. (M7RBY)

Nice video, was thinking of doing similiar temp efhw along fence until I can some more permanent support structures installed. Would there be a benefit to using insulators between the wire and the wooen fence? Screw in insulators for electric fence are just a few dollars a bag of 25 here. Primarily will be using to recieve on my sdrplay for now

Hi Matt, I have had an EFHW 40-10 antenna for about a year. I came across your video because I want to get on to 80m but my garden's too small. This antenna is only 2 to 3m longer than mine so I can manage that. What frequency did you tell Ian to tune 80m to? My antenna is amazing so I'm looking forward to getting this antenna. De MM7PRJ

Hi ,I don't I don't know how long your back garden is but I have an eflw up too its 65 ft long ..but have just built another wire antenna and its unbelievable..its called the G7FEK there's plenty of video's and if you Google it you will get all the how to build it info the difference in receiving is unreal I at times I can get a lot of unwanted noise on the endfed then a flick switch to the g7fek and just pure bliss gone just the other station heard no other interference overall length 46ft.. 24ft drop from the middle swr is done using counterpois wire few inches from the ground..might be worth a play with .73 john M0ASN

That's fantastic John! I will have to have a look at that mate. I had the DX commander before and didn't work well for me. This antenna is unreal!
