MFJ 20M HF Stick Ground Mounted Vertical
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
MFJ 1620T is half the cost of the Lakeview "Hamstick"
Set up as ground mounted vertical with one 1/4 w counterpoise - 2 feet of the ground - of Arizona HOA - works very well. Many good reports stateside & DX.
The MFJ 1620T is a great value - have used as moble on truck - used 2 in dipole mount & now ground mounted - very happy with the results in all cases. 73 K1WJ

It Does Work

Well .. I have worked with this antenna on the roof of my car with a 3 magnet 3/8" mount. So far I have worked 2 hams in about 15 min of being on 20 meters. The first contact was in the Bay Area of San Jose California and the second contact was in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Like WOW .. it does work. I was running 100 watts on a Yaesu FT-450. This is from a mobile location in Western Canada. Does this antenna work .... yes it may not be the best antenna but it does get a signal out. What more can I ask for. Overall .. pleased with the performance.

Works good
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
Made state side 20m contacts quickly upon install on my truck.
Quality of unit seems up to par with other "ham stick" type antennas.
So far so good, about 100-150khz band width.
Going to be using 2 of these for a 20m dipole soon.

cheap and powerful - 60 DXCC's in 20 h operationtime
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
I own this antenna since the 2. Sep. 2005. Purchased it together with a MFJ-336T magnetic mount ("Goliath 3-magnetic-mount, 3 x 5 inch magnets, 3/8" connector for antenna). First try was in the night at the 2. Sep were I logged OD, PY, 7X, CN and HK for the first 5 QSO's !!! The next 20 hours (different locations but most of them in the open countryside near Vienna) of 20m operation brought 60 DXCC's in my logbook. A Kenwood TS570D with 100 W helped me to do the job. I'm very pleased with the fast setup-time for the whole equipment (~ 7 min. for antenna, power, TRX and notebook) and it's performance. Hope to reach DXCC-status within the next 3 weeks. This whip should handle 250 W pep according to the manual. I measured VSWR on the whole SSB band below 1,3. Total length is 2,4 m (8 ft). The antenna is mounted with its magnetic mount on a VW Golf vehicle, in the middle of the roof.
see you on the bands, 73 de Harald, OE3HHB (Vienna/Austria)
