    Thanks for sharing! Thanks for getting back to me on the F-loop remote tuning setup of yours. I live on a farm where the only HOA I have to deal with is Housewife On-my A**. All joking aside she’s a pretty good egg and puts up with a lot of my antics. I love everything about Chameleon but the price. I am on their mailing list and see their sales emails. Yes you get what you pay for. I’ll have to go through your videos and see what other Chameleon products you have reviewed.

    Thanks for the review of this antenna. I have lots of CHA products already and thinking about this one, so its good to see it in use. Looks like it tunes well on all the bands typically used for NVIS. Wish we could have seen some QSO's and gotten some distances logged. What would the performance difference be between the 5:1 and the 9:1 in the new batch?

    • @Chameleon_Antenna
      @Chameleon_Antenna 2 месяца назад

      No real differences between the two. The 9:1 can handle more power.

    • @HOAHamRadio
      @HOAHamRadio  2 месяца назад

      Did get two QSO's in and they are on the video. I too wish I had more time to do long term testing...but that HOA and small lot I live on just won't cooperate....

    I bought this a while back, I need to test the 80M wires as it stopped tuning on 80M after the first few uses. It is fun to setup alone, but I am using a painters pole and not the fancy mast.

    • @HOAHamRadio
      @HOAHamRadio  2 месяца назад

      That FG mast is "fancy" - built like a tank! I do want to set this up alone some time just to see if it is easier or more difficult that way.

      @@HOAHamRadioHi Bob, I like my CHA 12’ FG mast. I wonder if chameleon could come up with the ability to add 2 more sections to the base to make the base be 3” in diameter so you can still use the ports mounts. I sure would like to get the mast up to 15’. Bill
