- The DX QSO to Canada has been achieved with my home made, portable vertical antenna and with only 20W on the 20m band 😉👍
It was beautiful sunny winter day and was great time to go on fresh air.
I want to thank you all for my first 10 000 subscribers! It's amazing! I would never believed in that before 😊
Thank you for watching my videos and your big support of my work on this beautiful Hamradio hobby!

As a Canadian ham, it was fantastic to see someone get excited to make a contact to VA/VE land. Great video Paul, intro and outro sound track and videography look like a big budget Hollywood production.
Ouh thanks! I am honest! Thank you for the nice comment John! 😊👍 Yes I was so happy because it was done with my own home made antenna and just around 20W 😃 That was great! Greetings to Canada from Slovakia and best 73. Paul
Another promising antenna project. Hopefully you could also do an episode about its construction. 73
I hope so too :) At least some technical details when this antenna will be finished ;) 73, Paul

Thank you so much Tom! It's great motivation for me to go forward :) 73
Well deserved over 10.000 subs,brilliant video as always.
My pleasure! Thank you very very much for compliment! ;)
What an awesome video. Beautiful location. Beautiful, very well made and very nice looking vertical. Greetings from VK2. Well done!!
I have been watching quite a few of your previous videos. Your end fed long wire antenna's are great and inspired me so today I made one with a 9:1 unun and deployed it but not very high up and had great contacts using 5 watts and up to 30 watts for hundreds of kilometres in VK. I have a ATAS vertical antenna and am also inspired to get it out and use that too after watch this video. Keep up the great work. 73 de VK3FIMD, Ian.
Amazing! Thank you! I am happy that you EndFed antenna works and you are happy with it ;) I am still working on this Vertical antenna project, so turns counts and other dimensions are not yet final :) Greetings to VK from Slovakia! 73, Paul.
amazing video 😃
Your video has encouraged me to try QRP. Thanks.
So I'm very happy that I motivated you :) I hope you will be successful ;) 73
Congratulations on how you make your videos with a lot of detail, a lot of precision and a lot of effort
Another great video Paul. Congrats for the nice work. You still inspire others to make this a very special hobby. Thks
This would be my biggest satisfaction if I inspire people to this beautiful hobby! Thank you for your nice comment and watching this video :) 73, Paul.

A well put together video paul really bbc quality stuff thx for your time and efforts putting this together for our entertainment and glad you got good conditions whilst you were up there portable
Thanks! But honestly I am little dissapointed of the video resolution. I recorded it to FHD 1080p/30FPS, but the result here on youtube is not what I was expected at all. The video is out of focus, without details and in some parts I see image jamming. I donno where should be a problem... But I am happy that still is this video nice for viewers ;-) Thanks for watching and 73! Paul
Спасибо Вам за видео! 👍
Nice video Paul, and a stunning qso, congrats for that. best 73, pa1jpr

Great video- would have been nice to see more detail on how you built your vertical antenna. Perhaps you already have a video on that. Your videos are always inspiring.
Great job Paulo😁😉😉😉😉😉
Thank you 😁
Since getting involved in amateur radio I see every mountain as a potential antenna site.
Definitely yes, you are not alone! :D I am the same hihi :D
Excellent music choice!
Thank you. I love Scott Buckley's music 😊👍
Another great video, Paul and well done on the DX.

The Sun is waking up so I believe you will 😉👍 Thanks for the nice comment! 😊👍
@@OM0ET It's trying to. Until then I will keep watching you and keep working on antennas :)
beautiful place to play radio
Nice!
Way back when, I had some HAM friends whose field trips I attended as a guest. And I helped to calculate the club vertical dipole antenna supports for optimum wind tolerance. But the reason for this comment is one of the field trips that was made to the top of a hill. The connections obtained were disappointing -- again, as they admitted. Somebody revealed that they had much better experiences below the hill! The reason was pretty evident, when I looked around. The hill had a granite core and dry gravel overcoat, while the soil below the hill was nice moist clay underneath and farm fields on top. We did not have a good Ground for our antenna up there on the hill.
Yes, it make sense of course. But the view, fresh air, woods and hiking is one part of this all 😉 We enjoy not only radio but also sport like this 😊. Thank for your nice comment and greetings from Slovakia! 73, Paul
Great video Paul, I am liking that vertical design. But at that location you were at- I'm thinking what could I do with all those tall trees and a long wire-LOL. What Beautiful countryside you have! Job Done- Well Done. Barnie M7PBX.
LOL yes, this place with this tall trees would be also good for let say big wire delta loop ;) That's true :D 73
Tnx fer the nice music instead of the funky junk most videos have
Good job OM
De a71br best regards
;) Thanks Abdul 73 from Slovakia!
Hey Paul. How do you think does the shortened vertical compare to your mag loop? I'll become an ham op and with novice license I can use 160/80/15/10m of the hf bands in my country. My space is a little bit restricted for wire antennas. So halfwave on 80m would be in neighbour's garden and I also can't get much higher than 10m above ground. tnx
Thanks for taking us along with you. K7WHN Joe
It was my pleasure my friend! :)
I'd like to see a video of how you took and edited in all your drone shots :) By the way, the music was beautiful! 73 KJ6ER Silicon Valley
Thanks Greg for your nice comment! Do you mean something like a behind the scenes? :D Yes, Scott buckley is genial artist. I love his music! Thanks for watching :) and 73. Paul
Antenna looks similar to the HF-P1 or Outback. Nice video.
Thanks :)
Супер!
😉👍
Icant believe,this sport still exist.OMG I remember Amateur Radio hordes on my shelf. This is how comunication start an,when internet ll'be belly up ,there will also end :D,
7000 Km with 30W is indeed a very good qso :) ! Great !
Just shows with power a little can go a long way👍🤗🐻🐉
Yes and this is the reason why I so like the QRP :D 73 and thanks for watching! ;)
Greetings Paul, congratulations on your homemade vertical antenna. I'm so sorry I didn't hear you when you called me (14:15 minute of the video). I'm Nelson, EA3IBV. My antenna was beaming to North America and had a bit local qrm. Until a next contact colleague. 73!
Hello Nelson! Don't worry, I just don't wanted to make an another CQ calls because you have called for DX and Slovakia is not a DX for Spain hihi. At least you can see how good and strong signal was here from your station :) I believe that we will meet on air in the future ;) Thanks for watching Nelson! 73, Paul.
@@OM0ET Hi Paul, greetings friend. If I had listened to you without problem i answer your call, it is not the first time that happens to me. Out of courtesy I do. Another day do not hesitate to call me again. Until the next time buddy!

@@stevendale7658 yeah it was a great time around yr 2000. Sun was pretty active with beatiful propagations around the world 😁
Hi, nice video. What battery model did you use in the test?
👍🏻👍🏻
❤️
Congratulation on your 10K subscriber! That's really interesting as you running 50 watt or may be 30 - 20 watt in making DX contact, the battery must be efficient. What's the specification of your battery?
Thank you! We were using two 5Ah LiPo 3S batteries, but we didn't must used the second one during this trip :)
Hi Paul congrats on the 10K subs! I have a similar setup but I'm using multiple elements on a 9.5m fibreglass pole based on DX Commander classic. I set it up in my garden and with some extra elements it's resonant on 160m, 80m, 40m, 20m, 24m, 17m, 15m, 12, 10m & 6m with no tuner except for tweaking some for 1:1. If I take it portable it's usually just 40m and up or 80m if I add that element as a inverted L.) Have a look at the DX Command youtube channel and Callums web site. I think you'll like it. I think for 20m you can make your antenna work as a normal 1/4 wave vertical if the MFJ is 5m long. Try making it 4.82 meters long and see how it does on SWR. 73!
Thank you for your comment and your advise Stewart ;) 73
@@OM0ET one more thing you might want to look at Mike M0MSN's RUclips channel he made a coil for creating an 80m vertical that I think you will like!
Great job again. TA5LVC

Hello, nice Antenna. How have found this Long Teleskop Antenna?
Génial. J'aimerais fabriquer une antenne comme celle-là. Avez-vous les plans? Bravo pour votre travail
Dear sir
I am from india and i dont have enough knowledge about this antenna
But i can make it
But i want to know can i use with my 80watt chinesd amp for uhf hamradio ?
And its used for ham radio frequency 462.000 above
dear colleague OM.
I saw the interesting video of the vertical antenna. I am interested in buying the antna. Where can I get it?? what is the value??
Another good vertical antena is helicoidal ,i use it for movile station like the video.is e wire of 1/2 wave ,wrap over a pipe of plastic water tube .some radials ground may be put.the inpedance is 50 ohms.
I would like the plans for this antenna please if possible? Good job!
