Very informative video Thx for sharing

Excellent video. Thank you !

Great job thanks 73 from kb2uew

Nice mod! Using that Polyphaser enclosure was a great idea. I have never looked for a flange mount PL-259 before. I was surprised that Pasternack did not have one. I was able to locate a few but the quality is probably no bueno.

Awesome anakysis

Nice mod

Hey Brett, From looking at the W5DXP modifications going to go with a 1000pf to centre it around 3.7. What KV rating would you recommend for the door knob capictor for running 100 watts.

Really good video Brett. I really like how you built the capacitor into the antenna. Very ingenious and it looks great. It makes an interesting antenna even more of an asset. As someone with limited options for antennas, this one looks like a good option. I do like to work 30 meters built I have a tuned dipole I built for that. I’ve been searching for an antenna that doesn’t really need a tuner. I’m from the camp that believes tuners are a compromise and should be used sparingly. Thanks for the time and effort you put into your videos and the research. Take care and 73 sir!

Built a very rough zs6bkw sorta doublet out in the field today and while it was around 2:1 on 40-10, it wouldn't tune on 80m. All I did was swap the 1:1 out for a 4:1 and it tuned 160-10m

Why not just use a better tuner to add capacitance wherever you want it?

Hi Brett. Sorry to hit you out of the blue with a question. I have been going throught my kit and came across a couple of solar rechargeable battery sets that can also be charged via usb connector from a computer. I discovered a 'blacberry' brand plug with a usb port; could that be used just like a 'computer' out put for charging these items safely? ATB. Nigel
