Great value and Quality Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I wanted a lightweight antenna for portable work and decided on a variable coil and antenna combination. Many of the coils available had been reviewed and had various differences that could present a problem. Some had difficulty in easily moving the adjusting ring, others were large and others not exactly light weight. The M1ECC coils reviews were very positive so I purchased one along with their Mil whip antenna. The coils are available in various colours and are all hand made. The quality is superb and the perfomance was equally as good. Trying it all out in my back garden, I had two QSO's into the USA using only 10 watts and was given 5/8 reports both times. For value for money, great performance and superb customer service these will take some beating....

Very well made Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have used this a couple of times so far. It is designed for portable use, usually with some ground radials and in conjunction with M1ECC's spike ground mount and a Mil type whip which they can also supply extra. I used mine with a Cha 2.0 mil whip (about 10.8 feet long when extended) and tried it out on my car roof via a triple mag mount static mobile. Worked mini pile-ups around the UK (when short skip allowed) and into Europe on 40 metres with a good SWR. Also strong signal reports on 15 and 17m with a mediocre SFI. With a 9 or 10 foot whip the coil tunes 40-15m. I suspect a shorter whip would allow good coverage above 15m. Overall, a nicely made and very handy addition to anyone's portable/static mobile armoury. Recommended.
