Thanks for QSO. EFHW is definitely working Ian. I use one for my main wire antenna at the moment, apart from my resonant monoband end-fed halfwave made by G-Whip for 40m. 73, Dave
Great to see you out and about, I’m still settling in to our new home and it will be some months before I have an operational QTH but I’ve been out with the KX3 and participated on the Mills On The Air and had a great time as the WX was kind. I’m just having a break from fitting skirting snd architrave boards and your the perfect relax for 1/2 hour. Aerial seems to be working great and little noise! Thanks for posting, look forward to the season ahead 73 Mike
Thanks for sharing, nice wee setup there. Tried that half wave on 20m vs a 20m vertical with radials on my recent UA-cam channel, vert won hands down. 73 zl3xdj.
Hi Brian and thanks for the comment. I would expect a vertical to outperform as a DX aerial every tie. I have used 1/4 verticals a lot, especially with raised radials and phased. They rock. the beauty of the EFHW is its portability. Throwing one end into a tree makes it useful just about everywhere. Another tool for the box ;). Ian
@@bayamateurradiogroup absolutely agree, I am now testing a 3 ele parasitic vertical long path with one driven ele and two parasitic reflectors, and getting Fantastic results. 73 zl3xdj
@@brianfields4479 Great stuff. I remember when we were on Tiree, we tried out a 4 element phased vertical array in a straight line. Awesome aerial but too narrow :). Got to love playing with wire :)
What a beautiful countryside, to set up your station in!
Great video pal, hope you and Linda are keeping well and enjoying the Motorhome. Hope to catch you on the air soon mate. Ian 🙂
Thanks Ian. We are having a great time. You can follow our Motorhome adventures on Motoring Matilda :)
@@bayamateurradiogroup cheers mate I will check it out now 👍

Just need the conditions now Dave!

Thanks Mike! Glad to hear you are settling in :). We have not moved for 32 years and have no plans to do so! Ian
@@bayamateurradiogroup 38 years in our previous, have to own up it was me who wanted to move!!!
Good job 🇬🇧

The bands have been very hard work, But you got out in the fresh air & the weather was kind to you.
Australia 🇦🇺 is 🇦🇺 watching 🇦🇺 Western Australian..nice videos
your video just disappeared I don't know why but it just stopped in the middle of it Yeah when we start to think it was kind of fun to watch
Not sure why. It is all there
But where did the rest go?
Into a box ready to build another aerial :)
I’m just ‘sat’ in a field. Sitting surely?
Ahh. I do apologise for my less than perfect English :)
I heard “set”, so I feel your English is fine. 😄
