Thanks!

A recent article suggests inserting a 200-400pf cap to ground. They evidenced a lowered SWR.

Looks like a great time! Thanks for sharing it.

Very cool! Looks small and portable too.

Faraday fabric works just as good as the screen, maybe better and fabric is easier to transport. I picked up faraday fabric 43 inches by 118 inches for $27.27 with tax on Amazon

Interesting...could you provide the ebay link that you chose as there are several versions listed of variable pricing...Thanks Maurice

wow that standby current consumption is veeery low! cool!

Looks like an amazing amp. Thanks for sharing this with us. 73s

It was a hot one for sure! Some clubs canceled due to the heat. If we didn't have a building with A/C we wouldn't have had a field day either! Great Job!

Surely you didn't have that loud generator going all night!!

Thanks Tom. Looks like y'all had fun. Great video

Thanks for recording!

Great video as always. It was great how hard everyone was working together. It is a super Ham Radio club WACOM! Thanks to everyone for a great field day weekend. 73s

I never new about that the long brim hats , you learn something new everyday. Except you're sitting in shorts , so I thought that would defeat the object . Anyway love your garden wish I had one like it, great show thanks for letting us see this, take care from ENGLAND 🇺🇲🇬🇧💯👍

Nice! You should consider printing a backcover so you have a real box! And you don't need the wrap anymore if it's all boxed :)

I ordered a JCase 705 from a dealer in my country. Unfortunately, both the KEY, TUNER and SEND/ALC connectors (TRS) turned out to be incorrectly connected. They were connected as mono, although it should be stereo. (Chinese junk?)

Awesome setup! Looks like the perfect park for it too.

😅

It was in the 90's up here in WNY today. Stay cool and have fun!

Gonna be a hot one this weekend in Tennessee as well. At least no major rain in the forecast. Good tips.

You sold me! Time to take a road trip to HRO in Portland Oregon and pick one up! Ive been going back and forth over the Elecraft kx2 and thr 705.

👍🏻 Excellent tips, Tom - have fun!

AWESOME TOM, THE BANDS WERE JUST RIGHT FOR USING 10W. which antenna were you using? thanks 73s de n3lou

#HammockRadio 😁🤘

That was a great activation. Thanks for the shout out. You have more energy than I. Thanks again for another great video. See you Friday will you announce a time for setup? 73s

Hi Tom, Missed another one of your activations. Received the HamAlert, but wasn't home and didn't return for several hours. I'll get you one of these days. 🙂 You and the family stay safe. 73 WJ3U

Nice job Tom Vy 73s Don 🎙

Do you have a wire clip to screen from the ground on coax?? Makes a difference!

Thanks Mike for directing me here. Thanks Tom. Great video.

It was great seeing the use of the different knots in the field.

I never realized about the flies with wide-brimmed hats. I've got a big head, but I'll look for one of those hats that fits.

Thanks, the playlist looks helpful. I'll follow your lead and cut a piece of paracord to have nearby and practice a few of these knots.

I think if I throw my lines into a tree like you did I would throw my back out. I enjoyed this video as it continued from the last of building the antenna, and it's a nice follow-up to see it working. Thanks for sharing this information. 73s

Great video. I may start referring to you as the antenna man. I really enjoy how much detail you put into your videos and how you show each step of setting up the antennas. All the best and keep the videos coming. 73s

Every thing I want to see is happening below the camera view.

Thanks for sharing the knots. It'll take me a lot of practice but it's cool to see in action.

Thanks for the video, we can feel your excitement!! You mentioned a perfect case, which one were you referring to. 73

Yum! I recently purchased that same pad. Thanks for the neat idea for securing it to my pack! 73 de KJ7LLX

I recognize that throw technique!

Yeah that DX stealth wire is great for permanent installations, but it’s only 7 strands so it curls back up on itself and has some memory. Super tough. But the Wireman version (which I think is Davis Rf) is fine stranded and thus has less memory.

Hi Tom, Those flies sure can be aggravating. Nice you were able to add that extra link and get the antenna to work better on the bands. What amp are you going to use? 73 WJ3U

I built a 36:1 separate 2 turn primary over the top of the secondary. On 80m I got an swr of 1.2 on the low end. This surprised me. After playing around from 160m through 6m using my ft-991a internal tuner I easily got 1.3 or less on all bands and made some decent contacts. Thid requires more playing with

Thinking about the differences in your two antennas brought up some questions and some thoughts you may or may not have already considered. Are they the same length? What bands were tested? One difference stands out clearly and that is some of the “36:1” antenna is near the ground. The feedpoint of most if not all antennas varies with the height above ground. The impedance out of a 49:1 would be 2450 and the impedance out of a 36:1 would be 1800. Low antennas tend to have lower impedances. As far as performance is concerned, if both antennas are the same length, they should have same directive pattern but if not pointed the same way one would outperform the other in some directions. Height above ground is the only factor that determines radiation angle of a horizontal antenna. So the low antenna if much lower than the high one would have a higher angle lobe. Regarding horizontal directivity, a quarter wave high an antenna does not have much directivity but at half wave high it does. Also the patterns are definitely different between an antenna operated as a halfwave on its fundamental frequency than on a harmonic.

Looks like a great portable setup. Glad you made all the contacts that you needed. 73s

What is your amplifier?

Very interesting video are you a member of an emergency organisation? We have something called RayNet in the UK 🇬🇧 but I don’t think they do things like this in my area. Good to see winlink working

Auggie can wear a device with a gps and report back to you where he's located automatically!

Nicely done. I prefer the Zeppelin bend over Sheet bend

Looks like a fun time.

I like to remind myself: f I only did things when the conditions were good, I wouldn't do much. We all need to get out there and make the most of it when we can. For who knows if there will be another chance. Tell Augie he's a good boy from me!
