Today I was playing with the Adjustable Shock...

The Alpha Delta takes just as much room as a G5RV.

No need for the 6 if you don't do CW (30 meter)
As long as it is installed properly, you don't need a tuner to operate on the 5 bands the antenna is intended for. If you go to the band edges, the radio internal...
I wanted to play with the analyzer so I set up my Buddipole as a VersaTee Vertical.
Once set up, including the elevated radial wire,, I just "drug" the lead up and down the coil and watched the SWR and impedance on the iP60z until it was as close as I could be to resonance. I was also using my...
