00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:04.679
Thank you for choosing to download the
Ham Radio two point zero audio podcast rip.

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:09.320
This is the audio taken out of
a video or a livestream I did

3
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:13.240
recently. You can catch all my
videos on YouTube Ham Radio two point zero

4
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:18.399
and catch us live every Sunday night
at seven pm Central Standard Time for a

5
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:22.519
different topic each week. Thank you
for the support, and thank you for

00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:34.799
being a member of the community.
What is the best Ham Radio antenna for

7
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:39.280
HF on Amazon? I'm gonna give
you my top eight picks today. Let

8
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.399
you decide what you want, different
variances, different this, that, and

9
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:49.280
the other. So let's go two
years ago. I did a video on

10
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.920
Amazon about the top seven antennas,
and I got a comment just like a

11
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.920
month or two ago that a couple
of the links were broken. Amazon does

12
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.880
this thing where they're not they have
product this month and then not next month,

13
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.680
and you've probably seen the dreaded currently
unavailable. We don't know when or

14
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.200
if this product will be back in
stock, that kind of thing. So

15
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.480
I decided to do a follow up
video to tell you what the top pick

16
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.000
eights were for today, which is
a beginning of twenty twenty four, so

17
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.439
we'll see how long these links last, I am going to start in order

18
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.200
of price. We're going to start
at the lowest price and we're going to

19
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.959
go to the highest price. And
there's different variances on all of these antennas.

20
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.879
So if you are a kit builder, these K six aark intennas are

21
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:33.480
great. In fact, the first
three are Adam K six aark intenna is.

22
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:34.920
Now you can go to K six
aark dot com and find links to

23
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.560
all of his kids and they're just
and there's buy on Amazon links at the

24
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.519
bottom of all his kids and they're
all sold through Amazon because he gets this

25
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:44.799
big batch and he sends them all
to Amazon. Then he links from him

26
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:49.280
from his website that people can more
readily and easily find them, So check

27
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.079
that link in the description. Blow. But he's got a five watt matching

28
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.920
unit for BNC Mail. There's a
BNC female option as well. He's currently

29
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.760
sold out of that at the time
of this recording. There's a twenty wat

30
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.280
mapit B and CE female and male, the female ones being displayed here today.

31
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.959
And then the one I like best
is the one hundred watt infed halfwave

32
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:12.680
and it is a SO two thirty
nine connector for the antenna on that unit.

33
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.360
So these are all in fed half
wave kits. They are forty nine

34
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.680
to one matching units, so that
you add wire two each actually after you

35
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.479
build it again. These are kits
that you will build if you don't want

36
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.599
to build an antenna, then we'll
talk about a few other things today.

37
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.560
But these first three are kids that
you build, and they're fairly simple to

38
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:30.639
build. I've built two of them, and if I can do it,

39
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.800
most of you guys can probably do
it as well. So this five watt

40
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.719
matching unit and this twenty watt matching
unit depending on what radio you're using.

41
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.560
If you're really big into QRP,
you've got one of these pocket sized radios,

42
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.879
one of these mountaintopper type radios or
the True SDX or something, the

43
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.080
five wat's going to be plenty for
you. The twenty watt matching unit will

44
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.000
be great for like a KX two
or a KX three or the G ninety,

45
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.000
which is twenty watt's maximum on single
sideband. You can also do multiple

46
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.000
builds on all of these. It
says right here it can be built.

47
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.360
It is a forty nine to one
on which is an unbalanced to unbalance which

48
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:07.840
is what your infed halfwave antennas typically
are. You can add like sixty five

49
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.280
to sixty feet worth of wire and
have it resonant on four bands ten,

50
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.319
fifteen, twenty, and forty.
You can add one hundred and thirty feet

51
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.240
uh worth of wire and add I
think thirty and eighty maybe seventeen thirty and

52
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:22.319
eighty something like that, different variances
on the infed halfwave. There. You

53
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.439
can also build it as a nine
to one on, which is commonly a

54
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.800
random wire, so you can put
a certain amount somewhere around, like eighty

55
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.560
four eighty five feet if I'm not
mistaken. You put a certain amount of

56
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.919
wire on it and then use the
tuner in your radio and tune it to

57
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.199
almost any band you want to.
Or it can be used as a four

58
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.439
to one if you want to do
something four to one or an or a

59
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:45.639
one to one one to one balance
which is a balance to unbalanced, and

60
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.919
then four to one on which is
unbalanced to unbalanced, and those can be

61
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.280
used for off center fed or a
center fed dipole type configuration. So if

62
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.000
you guys want to know more about
different antenna configurations, I've got a couple

63
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.560
of videos on this channel about that. I'll try to link those below,

64
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.400
but maybe we'll do a live stream
about that and talk about that sometime again

65
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:05.599
in the future. So the difference
between these three ten antennas is that this

66
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.680
one's a five wat maximum, this
one is a twenty wat maximum, and

67
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:15.280
this one is a one hundred WAT
maximum. So these are basically the same

68
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.240
three antennas except for power. These
first two, the five wat and the

69
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.600
twenty watt say that you can do
them for the forty nine to one,

70
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:21.399
the nine to one to forty one, or the one to one. This

71
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:26.519
last one ten the hundred watt,
the one that I like the best myself,

72
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.680
says it will do forty nine to
one for an INFED halfwave or nine

73
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:30.800
to one for an un on.
He doesn't list the other two on here.

74
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.879
I'll have to confirm with him on
that. I think you could probably

75
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:35.959
do that on this one, but
I could be wrong about about that.

76
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.319
Depends on how you whine the toroid
when you're building the kit, that's what

77
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.319
it's all about. But this one
right here, INFED halfway is a fantastic

78
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.959
antenna to take out into the field, to put in a pack, to

79
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.319
take somewhere, parks on the air, summits on the air, islands on

80
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.600
the air, something like that.
If you're going to pack up an antenna

81
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:55.199
and want it to be lightweight and
portable and infed, halfwave is a fantastic

82
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.920
option for that. So these first
three fit the first three and are eight

83
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.160
antennas on Amazon today, And really
the only difference between them is how much

84
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.879
power do you want to run?
I personally like one hundred watts, So

85
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:09.120
the one hundred wat version is the
one that I usually choose. Number four

86
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.839
today is a Radio Waves DX forty
off center fed diepole. Now. Radio

87
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.800
Waves is a US company. You
will see them at Hamvenchon and Ham Cash.

88
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.439
They make antennas for all kinds of
stuff, a lot of achiaf antenna's.

89
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.639
They make some hex beams, they
make some vertical dipoles, They make

90
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.240
some off center fed diepoles and center
fed diepoles. This one here will work

91
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.879
on six' ten twenty and forty
meters. Again, the difference is how

92
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.560
this centerpiece often called an un un
unbalanced to unbalanced matching unit or a balance

93
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:40.000
a balance to unbalanced matching unit.
It depends on how that is configured.

94
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.079
Inside how that is built, as
to what bands you get, as to

95
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.759
how much wire you use, as
to how much power you can use,

96
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.560
and all that kind of good stuff. So this one right here is rated

97
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.000
for up to fifteen hundred watts on
single sideband according to this right here.

98
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:56.680
So this has got some BFY toroids
and BFY equipment that's built into the center

99
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.360
fed piece. So that's going to
work really well for those of you guys

100
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.639
who want to run maybe one hundred
wats on FT eight or a couple hundred

101
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.959
wats on FT eight, or maybe
you've got a four or five hundred wide

102
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:09.000
amplifier you want to run, This
is going to be an excellent option for

103
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.639
that. Most of their stuff is
made in the USA. They do have

104
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.480
USA support. You can contact them
via email or phone inside of the USA,

105
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.279
and at only ninety seven dollars,
this one's readily available and it'll work

106
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.240
great for those of you want to
go out and put something up at your

107
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:25.759
home and leave it, or take
something that's maybe a little bit bigger than

108
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:30.680
an NFF half wave but not extremely
large and bulky, something that still compacts

109
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.000
down pretty well to take out into
the field. Right here, real quick,

110
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.920
we're talking about the top eight antennas, and I want to talk to

111
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:40.879
you about the sponsor of this video. Who is Sessi the SESI store.

112
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.560
You can visit the SESI store right
here. If you guys have watched some

113
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:47.360
of my most recent videos measuring harmonics
on different radios with the tiny Essa,

114
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.800
Cesse sent me this tiny Essa.
I already had one from RNL, but

115
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:55.079
Sese sent me the Ultra one,
which is a larger screen a couple more

116
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.920
features than that. So they are
sponsoring this video. Check the links in

117
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.560
the description. Blow if you guys
check them out, sure to put in

118
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.040
your order that you heard about them
on Ham Radio two point zero. But

119
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.959
they have nanovna's, they have tiny
essays. They have these measuring units that

120
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:10.079
you can use to measure and tune
your intenna, or measure and cut your

121
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:14.000
antenna so that is tuned for a
more resonant type capability. It's part of

122
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.279
the whole antenna building process. So
if you're interested in that, check out

123
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.040
SEZ in the link below, and
thank you for sponsoring this video. The

124
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:23.639
fifth one we're going to talk about
today is the wind Camp Gypsy five to

125
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.560
fifty Mega hurts horizontal dipole. Horizontal
just means you you can kind of hang

126
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.000
it that way, or you can
hang it as an inverted V, perhaps

127
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.199
an inverted L something like that.
This is made by a company called wind

128
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.519
Camp. You see them often on
Amazon. They've got a lot of stuff

129
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:39.040
on Amazon. They've got some ascessories
for the IC seven oh five and that

130
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.680
kind of thing. This one comes
at a one hundred wats pep, so

131
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:45.199
it's not as quite as powerful as
the radio waves we just talked about,

132
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.040
and it's more expensive than the radio
waves we just talked about. Honestly,

133
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.560
the radio waves is probably a better
intenna build quality wise, but you know

134
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:54.800
some you know this one has it
a five percent off coupon. This one

135
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.519
does have. You can see right
there at the top where those red knobs

136
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.000
are. Those are a binding post
or a screw down posts with thumb screws

137
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.120
on top of them, which that
means that you can take off the elements

138
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.000
and change the size of them.
So if you want to do some extra

139
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.360
antenna tuning, you want to add
something to the antenna, you want to

140
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.439
make it shorter, you want to
make it smaller, you want to make

141
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.519
it longer, so it works more
bands. You can easily change out the

142
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.319
elements on this antenna so that it's
a little bit more customizable for your needs,

143
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.759
depending on how you how you want
it. There. They do have

144
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:24.079
a five percent of coupon right now
at the time of this recording, so

145
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.759
be sure to check the prices for
all that. It'll go all the way

146
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.759
up to fifty mega hurts which is
six meters, from five to fifty mega

147
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.279
hurts five megga hurts is sixty meters, so it'll cover a few more bands

148
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.360
than the ones that we talked about
before that'll only cover forty band up to

149
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.399
forty meters. This will cover well
up to six sixties. The next one

150
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.080
above forty, so it'll cover one
more band. If you say right here,

151
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.480
it says it'll work fifty megaherts,
twenty eight megaherts, which is six

152
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.240
meters, ten meters, twelve fifteen
meters, seventeen meters, twenty meters,

153
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:54.679
thirty meters, forty meters, and
sixty meters right there, so it'll you

154
00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:01.519
can unwind and wind the links of
wire out to whatever length you want.

155
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.080
It tells you exactly right there how
much wire to wind out, so you

156
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.120
can tune the INTENDA to different bands
and use it in different operation styles like

157
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.639
that. Shark Intennas is another company. Most of their stuff's made in the

158
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.440
USA. I got some of their
hamsticks a while back. Hamsticks are great

159
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.399
because they're very versatile. You can
set up a hamstick and hang them horizontally.

160
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.879
You can put one here and when
they're and have like a rotatable type

161
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.600
diepole. You can put a hamstick
on a mag mount on your vehicle.

162
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.320
I've done several Poda activations with hamsticks
on my vehicle that you can go out

163
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.360
to a park and sit in your
truck and activate the parks on the air.

164
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.480
So that's totally acceptable thing to do. Parks on the air from your

165
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.879
vehicle is totally acceptable. And hamsticks
are great because they're generally mono band.

166
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.960
You have a ten meter, a
fifteen meter, a twenty meter hamstick,

167
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.200
seventeen meter hamstick. You can do
stuff like that, and you can change

168
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.240
bands. You have to get out
of the truck and unscrew the one,

169
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.200
and they have quick disconnects you can
get in some of them. But Shark

170
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.039
Intenna's makes all their stuff in the
USA. Great company. I've traded some

171
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:00.799
emails with them in the past.
Gigaparts carries the carries it full variety of

172
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:05.039
Shark Antenna Shark hamsticks. So in
fact, right there, Radio Antenna is

173
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.639
by Gigaparts, So this is gigaparts
is at on Amazon, so there you

174
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.320
go, there you go. Gigaparts
is the one selling these. These are

175
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.039
great if because they're really versatile.
You can run them vertical, you can

176
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.120
run them horizontal, you can put
them on your vehicle and be on HF

177
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.399
while you're on road trips. So
Shark Antenna's is definitely on the list today.

178
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.559
The next one is the Chameleon.
Now chameleon stuff I've seen chamellions also

179
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.039
made in the USA. They have
a factory in California. This is the

180
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:31.480
MCom three portable. They may have
more items on Amazon, but they're kind

181
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:33.320
of like hit or miss what they
have, probably depending on what they have

182
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.720
in stock at the time. So
you can click on the Chameleon store here

183
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.960
you can see a lot of other
stuff that they have out here, Chamelion

184
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.039
ten of here, and then it
gets into other stuff down there. It

185
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.399
kind of doesn't. It doesn't.
It's it says it's their store, but

186
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.120
it's not, it's just doing a
search for chamelion antenna. So the MCom

187
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:54.519
three portable is a very lightweight,
very well made wire antenna. It is

188
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.600
a seventy three foot of copper clad
kevlar wire and twenty five foot a cop

189
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.399
upper clag peval wire on either side, so there's seventy three feet on one

190
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.519
side, there's twenty five feet on
the other side. You can use this

191
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.759
for multiple bands. This is what's
called an off center fed dipole because the

192
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.639
matching unit, the black part right
here where you feed the antenna, is

193
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.679
not perfectly in the center of the
two wires. If the two wires were

194
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.879
the same length, this would be
a center fed dipole, since the two

195
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.399
wires are different links, putting this
not in the center of the two wires.

196
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.639
If you think about the two wires
put together as one wire, and

197
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.360
you put this somewhere in the middle
of one wire, and if it's in

198
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.080
the center of the center fed and
if the wire's different links on both sides,

199
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.799
in it's off center fed. That's
the easiest way I know how to

200
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.919
explain it. So this is an
off center fed diepole, which typically means

201
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.120
that it will work more bands.
Center fed dipoles are usually for one band.

202
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:45.759
You have a forty meter center fed
diepole, you have a twenty meter

203
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.039
center fed diepole. There are some
exceptions to that, but generally speaking,

204
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.399
that's how it works. The off
center fed diepole usually gives you more band

205
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.399
options, so you might be able
to work three, four, five,

206
00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:00.000
six bands from one center fed diepole
and have it be either tunable or resonant

207
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.759
on specific bands. Once again,
Chameleon antenna is made in the USA,

208
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.639
just like Shark antennas, just like
radio waves, So a lot of these

209
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.960
things are made in the USA,
so you're supporting US companies when you guys

210
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.840
check this out. One hundred and
eighty dollars for the MCom three portable,

211
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.159
very lightweight, great working antenna.
The last one we're going to talk about

212
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.519
today, and this is just the
last one because the most expensive this is

213
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:22.720
the superintenna. Now, this one
comes with all the stuff you see in

214
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.919
the pack right here, comes with
multiple ways to mount it with the tripod.

215
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:28.360
There on the bottom, it comes
with multiple ways to mount it with

216
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.000
the tripod. There you can see
the antenna sitting on the tripod. Right

217
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.279
there you can see the spike on
the left over there, so you can

218
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:37.480
stick it into the ground rather than
having the tripod sit on the ground.

219
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.200
If it's windy outside, then the
tripod might be blown over. It comes

220
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.519
with this neat carrying bag and whatnot. This piece in the middle right here

221
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.480
with the black coils is where you
tune the antenna, So you can move

222
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.480
the whip on the top up and
down, and you can tune the antenna

223
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.679
with the matching coils in here.
And this makes the intuna usable on multiple

224
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.840
bands. Now I don't own one
of these antenna's, but one of our

225
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.759
club members brought this intenna to field
day a couple of years ago and we

226
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.039
used it at field day, and
for as small in compact and lightway as

227
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.639
it is, I thought it worked
pretty well. Yeah. I got to

228
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.559
use it myself for a couple hours
one afternoon on field day. I think

229
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.279
we were on forty meters with it, if I remember it correctly. I

230
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.039
can't recall we might have been on
We might have been on twenty meters with

231
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.600
it. I can't remember. We're
usually on twenty meters with the hex's beam

232
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.799
at field day, so I'm thinking
this one we were on forty meters with

233
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:26.440
or he might have even set it
up for six meters. But the great

234
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.679
thing about this antenna is it is
versatile. You can set it up for

235
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.679
multiple bands. It's a multi band
Intenda that compacts down into that little bag

236
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.240
right there. It is easy to
carry around. You can see all the

237
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.200
stuff on it right here and read
all the kind of things. Enjoy the

238
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:45.120
freedom of all bands eighty forty thirty
twenty seventeen fifteen ten meters twelve meters ten

239
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.919
meters and covers all frequencies throughout the
band, depending on where you tune the

240
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:54.320
coil to. So the Superintenda MP
one DXTR eighty HF super Whip Tripod all

241
00:13:54.360 --> 00:14:00.200
banded eighty meter MP one intenna's a
that's a name. That's a name right

242
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:01.960
there. Well, there it is. But that's the last one we're going

243
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.360
to talk about today. So guys, that's the top eight antennas on Amazon

244
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.639
today in early twenty twenty four that
I would choose. What else might you

245
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.039
add to the list? Did I
miss something? I did look around and

246
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.240
see because there were two or three
intendas that I wanted to include today and

247
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:20.799
they're showing out of stock. On
Amazon right now. So again, Amazon's

248
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.320
very kind of hit or miss.
Sometimes they have stock, sometimes they don't,

249
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:26.559
Sometimes they get it back in.
Sometimes you won't see it for a

250
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:28.480
long long time. Adam's intens we're
out of stock for a long long time.

251
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.679
But I know that Adam has updated
his stock and added a lot of

252
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.159
stuff to Amazon, which is one
reason I wanted to make this video today.

253
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.440
So what else would you put in
this list? Put a comment in

254
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.559
the video below. Seventy three
