Hi matey, hope your well. Winter here in zl, but the classic pole is still out there giving me heaps of dx on 80,40 and 20m. My expedition is set up on 20m when I go bicycle mobile to the beach, works a dream, zl to eu and the states easy-as. Great poles , quick and easy to set up, cheers and best wishes from down under.

Great video Cal - really useful! Still loving my classic , will still get your latest and greatest soon, just no time to build right now. I love the simple presentation approach no flipping powerpoint, just pen and paper! Mark, 2E0MSR

Love a bit of useful free education. Thank you Callum 😊

Good morning Callum, thank you for this Video & and very nice over view about you vertical !!! Thank you ....have nice day ! Best regards Michael

nice run through... interesting to see your thought process for each.

With the help of the DX Commander I built a home-brewed dxc classic using a mast I already owned …. 6m-40m without a tuner. It is an amazing antenna. Thanks Cal for all you have given to the hobby. 73.

Nice video. I’m glad you got to use the pictures. I hope to get those SWR’s to you soon.

answer: all of them. Choose all of them and buy 5 of each.

Hi Calum, great video those are excellent antennas and for me you're getting a lot of antenna for the pricing. As seeing the picture of one of your antennas at a HOA it virtually disappears that's awesome. Hopefully one day I can have one here at my house. Have a fantastic week. Thank you for sharing your video. WD5ENH Steve

This is the video I need! Ty!

Great work Callum. You have a great line of antennas. Looking forward to seeing the 9.5m no guy antenna and to hear more about project X . 73 Joe

Morning Cal. Hope you are well. Thanks for pointing out the various differences of your suite of antennas. Very interesting what you did with verticals. I am eyeing the model for HOA environment but with our exchange rate of over 20 to the pound 🙈 makes it impossible. I will keep eyeing!!

Great video Callum and great work you are doing. The expedition is my favourite. I have the classic pole I think, it's currently tired to my washing line pole with a efhw as a inverted V'ish. I bought off a guy who used with a hawkins viper. I just wanted the mast but that came with it. Hope to catch you on the air Motters M7TRS 73 👍🏻

Trick question ... ALL of them. 😁 I have the 12.4 Signature at my home and debating between the Rapide and Expedition for bug out/field day.

loved this!!

Never learned how to get ANY of the DX Commander antennas. So, settled for a 43-foot vertical. I like it! 73.WW5MB

Once your DX10 wire is back in stock I'll be ordering a Rapide for permenant install and an Expedition for POTA. Nice job mate!

Real interested in that would be "signature 10". Currently mowing around lines for my setup is an issue. One of yours that could survive free standing would have me on the list in short order. Be interested in a video update of the progress even if it's not market ready. We all like knowing what yer tinkering with.

I'm still enjoying my 'Classic'. I wish I had a 20 metre high tree in my back yard so I could hide a Nebula antenna, but I'm sure that my sharp eyed neighbours will still see it. I'm looking forward to the 9.5 Signature antenna.

Luv my Classic, but do plan to replace my 30m wire with 80m and get both!

If I had a way to properly ground this I'd buy one in a heartbeat. Living in a block makes radio an interesting endeavour

Nice video, very informative. However you have to add 50% or more when you ship an antenna to “ Europe “ and thats crazy. All the best Callum

I ordered one for the New Mexico house today. Sue, WA6IFV, loves hers. Under 1.6/1 SWR on all the advertised bands. 1.0/1 on 10 meter. Great antenna, I've been recommending it.

I chose the classic for home and am now considering the expedition for...you know, expeditions.

nice video 100 i buy 12.4 have all band fanstic :)

Think you need all of them, got to have the full collection

Love to see a scale model version for the desk. Could tune to UHF/VHF 1090Mhz for fun.

The "10m" Classic was easy and quick to assemble indoors, I will need a bigger house to do the same with the Nebula...

My "Classic" is a great performer zero compliants!!!! Trying to decide between the "Rapide" or "Expedition" for portable ops.

Good evening Cal, VO2AA here from Zone 2. Have been watching your channel for the past could of days. I am in Labrador, Northern Canada. We have winter here for many months and for example, temp this evening is -30C without wind! Looking towards the Classic. Thoughts? Do you ship to Canada? 73s keep up great work!!

all of them 😄

I can't wait to have enough saved to purchase your 12.4 meter 80m-10 meter antenna, or just go with the classic. My EFHW works good but a true vertical just might pull the rabbit out of the hat for me.

Ahhhh project X how in the bloody heck can we wait 2 years for that Callum 😂😂😂 cheers W9US

I would like to see the new 9.5 Signature use a coil for 40, rather than the fold over. Personal preference, but I've never liked the look. My classic is being borrowed by a BBRC club mate, and I'm considering the 12.4 Signature for field days. I appreciate you Callum. John 2E0SVB.

Have not watched the video yet but I have the correct answer to the question....all of them!😁

I am getting ready to put together a nebula and the manual refers to a playlist on youtube and it is not working. I also searched for the nebula videos and I can't find them what's up?

at the 2 minute mark.... the Radial Base Plate is on the Ground... Is there any way to elevate the radial plate up so that in the winter I can keep the base plate out of the crud ? This is the only reason I haven't purchased your verticals. I live in Wisconsin. We have like .50 meters of snow on the ground for 6 months. I don't want the radial plate RIGHT ON the ground, getting all cruddy with muck. Thanks for your time and great video :)

Hi Cal, we have an 18 m Spiderpole in the club for FD. Would your parts fit and would you sell them without the pole ?

Question @DX Commander, I just got a rapide with the cheaper wire. Does that change in velocity factor effect cut point recommendations that are based on the dx 10??

Hi Calum. I am a huge fan and very close to placing an order however, can you give me anything to keep me holding off buying the awesome classic or do I hold out for the 9.5 signature. Any release date or further info??????? Love what you do and love the channel. Big fan. Kindest regards Shane VK6EIR

Dear Mr Wizzard of amateur radio. Is there anything that I can do with a 10ft. "C-KU Band" antenna repurposed for amateur radio? Bernie KD2WBK (technician)

Everyone, curious about the field portability of something like the Classic, which is attractive because of the number of bands at once, vs the expedition, which only gives 4? At one time. Signature 12.5 is a bit more than I was hoping to spend as I don't spend much time on 80m Location is the Pacific Northwest US, most of our seasons are rain. Typical deployment is a weekend of camping with the scouts, like the upcoming Jamboree on the Air, rain or rain or rain or shine. It'd be nice to not adjust the antenna (already have a wolf river coil, looking for a set it and forget it kind of any HF band antenna for a entire weekend of fun) Should I just get the expedition or is the classic (or something else) fairly well suited to POTA like temporary work

Hi cal,could I use thin sotabeams extremely thin wire (max150w) just for the 80m wire as its very light n thin so ideal for the L on 80m ?? But use the dx10 for the other elements?

Where did you get those slip on cable markers???

12:57 Is the aluminum one with no guy lines available yet?

12m pole to the top is approx 3/4wave on 20m

How much is just the mast?

Multiply the price by 10 to get the price in aud and wait 4 years and aussie post might deleiver it😉

Currently have a 160 inverted L on my Nebula and will use my Rapide for Field day for our club. Also have the DXC and an extra DXC pole. Do you sell the plates, bits and wire for making another DXC?

I look at these antennas and practically drool; we can't get one in the US!

Have you received the wire shipment yet?

9.6m

I'm looking for a vertical 20 M - 10M (6M??) 600w PEP??? (I'm not interested in 12M) I have a VEE wire antenna for 160-40 Meters.....this is the 2nd time that a Piece of S*** Hexbeam broke apart from a wind storm. $650USD all burned up.

Too bad you can’t embed the elements in the fiberglass and no wires

you should get the Entire Collection, duh

Ok, I do not want a very tall antenna. Do not want to advertise from the street, and too close to power lines. How about an antenna system which is fed at the base, go up through the top, and are 1/2 to 1/4 wavelengths. Then each wire is terminated at the correct length with an insulator, and non metallic rope is used as supporting the central pole. Am I crazy? Have I been on Ham Radio 2.0 too long.

Would not choose any of them there rubbish and to much money..

Do you know if I can put a Commander very near a large tree to hide it, as long as its straight up? Beautiful antenna but neighbors not appreciative....you said it could, just wondered if you'd ever put it near that big shade tree and texted SWR? de WO8USA

I just may have to give you some money sir, for one of these antennas. Cheers! Do you know Dave, G0EVY?? Philip KA4KOE
