    Very timely video Bob. I purchased he sling bag as well and found it to be 100% better than the original bag Chameleon had with the MPAS 2.0. Great ideas for he pouches and wraps to protect the gear. Well done my friend !

    I am also a fan of Chameleon antenna's. I am the Emergency Coordinator for ARES/ACS in Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. I bought various Chameleon products exactly for the reasons you've stated. These kits offer versatility and flexibility, and so, offer options when setting up in situation where certain antenna's will not be suitable. I find the tactical Delta Loop to be one of the best solutions for solving a lot of problems. In my experience it is a great performer and especially in situations where an there is no way to deploy a wire. I am currently working on a means of setting it up on a hard surface such a parking lot or sidewalk. Figuring out how to do that requires a little head scratching and engineering. In real emergencies you don't always get to choose your operating location so working around the problem requires gear that can be adapted as needed and still get the job done.

      I have done about 15 parks in Bruce county. I found repeatedly if you can’t get the ground spike into that “soil”very far it impacts your ability to transmit. You hear everyone just fine. I did not see that anywhere else on the Bruce Trail. Any thoughts on what causes that there?

      I really like the system after 200 plus activations. CHAMELEON ANTENNA CHA SS17 I find is a bit of a wear item. I’m on my 5th one.

    Hi Bob - Thanks for sharing your antenna go bag. I love the Chameleon sling bag. It holds my MPAS. 2.0, Wolf River Silver Bullet Mini, and Rez antenna Tripod. Bill, KC2KNA

    Wow! A very thought provoking video to consolidate go-bag components based on situational demands. Chameleon is my go-to and I'm loving the new sling bag. Thank you for your very detailed and honest product reviews. Keep up the excellent work Bob!!

    You have very good ideas your choices match what you need. Me I am much more of a wire antenna person and a Jpole for 2M / 70CM. Mine is combined in my radio bag but you did put some ideas so thank you.

    Great video, One of the areas I'm weak is OFF Grid, which I really need to become very knowledgeable in since I am a volunteer for our county Emergency Group.

    • @HOAHamRadio
      @HOAHamRadio  5 месяцев назад

      POTA, go POTA; it is a great way to learn how to operate off grid.

    I love this setup, however, it is a little out of my price range right now. I have to stick with an EFHW and I'd love to add the Gabil sometime soon for mobility and when you can't hang an EFHW, but this is like my dream setup haha.

    • @HOAHamRadio
      @HOAHamRadio  5 месяцев назад

      Its good to dream. Use what you have and can afford and have a blast with it.

    In my 2/.70m bag I have two 50w mobiles, 2 1/2 l antennae, two magmounts.. Lot of weight. But if something goes out, I have backup. And do nor forget fuses and DC and coax adapters and connectors.

    • @HOAHamRadio

      All great suggestions, thanks for sharing for all to learn.

    I have several. However, I am slowly whittling down items in my kit.

    • @HOAHamRadio
      @HOAHamRadio  5 месяцев назад +1

      I think we have the same problem. I don't have "a" Go Bag, I have multiple Go Bags.

  • @johnarcher9480
    @johnarcher9480 5 месяцев назад

    Everyone needs to set up their kits to their needs.
    Personally, I don’t want 17 antenna components.
    A coil for vertical antennas, and a couple 49:1 or 9:1 baluns for wire antennas. Done.
    What I MIGHT add is a 4:1 balun for a skyloop. But in reality, in an emergency I don’t see needing a full loop.
    In most cases, you are going to want NVIS.
    I do have a mast that i can use with the End fed wire antennas, and a fiberglass dual band antenna.
    So with that. I have 2 complete HF antennas for 80-10 including NVIS, A vertical antenna for 40-6, and a high gain VHF/UHF antenna.
    7 parts + a mast.
    The End fed antennas can be set flat, inverted V (both great for NVIS through DX) slopers, inverted L, or even set up for vertical use.

    Some of those smaller sections of coax and rope maybe should be placed in gallon reseal freezer bags. Or clear pencil bags. That way you do not have to get orry about those items dangling into each other.

    • @HOAHamRadio

      For sure, simple solutions get the job done. Thanks for sharing.

      Be careful not to exceed the minimum bend radius. Or, should I say, make sure you DO exceed the minimum bend radius LOL!
