Another great antenna from the world of JNCRadio Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I started looking around for a multiband vertical that I can use for portable operations and POTA. It had to cover multiple bands and be efficient as I at times will operate QRP and don't need power heating up a Balun diminishing my radiated power. Every watt counts and by its use of a telescopic whip that is a quarter wave then it will work better than a coil loaded antenna. So for the bands above 40m the whip will be a quarter wave and it has clever markings on the whip itself showing the correct band length. This makes for a fast and easy deployment with no measuring tape or tools. On 40m, the supplied coil puts it into a base loaded design and with the 16 ft radiator it does an excellent job and is better than a short antenna as there is more radiating metal in play. What's also nice is that the design team didn't stop at the drafting table but it took it out and made sure it was usable. It sure is usable with a clever and chunky (Red) hand grip to push the antenna with its embedded spike into the ground and fool proof set up to resonance. I have a shelf full of antennas and this one is my top pick where there is a grass area to operate from because of the spike. It also comes with a custom carry bag keeping everything in place and room to add coax and accessories. I brought it with me on some hikes and its easy to carry and I can deploy it in 2 minutes and be on the air checking into ECARS or the Goof Net. So after several park events the antenna has performed admirably and if I can hear them I can work them up and down the East Coast and out West to Wisconsin and Minnesota. This will be a great secondary antenna for Field Day where we can spin it up on whatever band we want for additional operators that show up. I have tried using my A/B switch on the Icom to choose this vertical or my dipole to see which one is better when out doing POTA. My motto is less time deploying antennas and more time giving out a new park to the chasers. I cannot wait to try this out at Wasaga Beach this summer and can leave the tripod at home and just bring the antenna out and push it into the sand and go make QSO. If you cannot put a wire in a tree at a State Park (illegal) or spend time trying to get a 66 ft end fed in a tree then I will be making contacts within minutes of arriving while you are still fiddling around.
