I live in an HOA with a 6' white plastic fence. I'm using this antenna in a horizontal L config, 22' S-N then 44' E-W. 6' high supported every 8' on the inside of the vinyl fence post. The antenna feed point, IMD, is clamped to a 6' steel post driven 18" into ground , 8' from the house. I like this antenna a lot. I switch a Yaesu FTDX10 and a Xiegu G90 with it and a vertical.
WB8BCU - Back on HF and loving it after several decades of inactivity. Your channel is one of my regular stops. Cool antenna. Hadn’t come across it until now. Thanks for sharing. 73, Mark
I have this antenna and just got a chance to really use it yesterday. It really is as multi banded as the claims. I’m a newer Ham and haven’t had a lot of experience.., but this antenna seems good. I’m considering buying a second to put up at the QTH.
Oh, forgot to mention, I love my NanoVNA!!! I actually had a MJF analyzer, but after getting the NanoVNA, well lets say it found a new home with a ham buddy of mine. 73 Juddie WD8WV
KV4ZZ- you have renewed my interest in ham radio projects. Just got a pi a month ago and was wondering what to do with it when I discovered your videos and dug the ham gear back out of the closet. Keep up the great work.
Nice to know the performance of this antenna. Mine is an End fed, 9:1 UNUN and 121' of wire. While good with internal tuner on IC-7300, still need external tuner for 160 meters only.
KF7VUT-. Impressive that it can cover all of 80m! I always trust the radio SWR as that is the one that decides when power is rolled back. As always, great vid. 73
NI4B - After reading the fine print on your previous post, I checked out the antenna on the TN07 Enginerring website. That's a nice looking antenna. It seems reasonably lightweight and VERY durable. I love the multiband capabilities without a tuner. Thanks for the review.
Decent looking antenna option for field use. Although I like putting my wire antennas together myself this is a nice package you could leave in a car or bag as ready to go option or even as a backup option so it is tempting. Experimenting with different configurations and locations could do a lot to change SWR readings too to so I wouldn't be too turned off by it considering how many bands it covers.
KY3M- you got some great videos. I have been using raspberry pi's for a few years, but you made them a lot easier to work with. Keep up the great work.
KB1MEE Another awesome video and nice antenna. You are providing me the desire to get back on the air. I have been silent too long. Thank you for what you do.
KD2DOE - Great review as always. Thinking it’s a great idea for mobile use for EComm deployment, Field Day, Parks On The Air, etc. In addition to having a second antenna at my home shack set up at an angle to my existing home-brew dipole to cover more of the US and World. Nice to know it covers the 10 and 6 meter bands now that we are entering the Spurious E skip period.
KL7CA I thoroughly enjoy ALL your videos Jason! Thank you for putting in all the time and effort and sharing your hard work with all of us! Cheers! Chip
W1TEN - Jason thanks so much for your videos. Has really inspired me to lighten the load for my portable ops (POTA) using the Raspberry Pi. Have you ever considered using (building a video???) with the Rig Expert AA30.Zero with the Pi? I just configured it this week on top of the Pi that has your Build a Pi 2.0 scripts. Really helps with setting up field antennas from Wolf RIver coils to linked dipoles etc. Looking forward to your Build a Pi 3. 73 - Greg
No matter what the SWR is on an analyzer, your radio's SWR meter reads what the transmitter sees. Always trust your radio as analyzers don't have finals to blow up! Esteban-KX4EZ
N4JRX - I love the practicality of your approach. I would love to see you on the bands, but I'm too far for ground path, and too close to bounce a signal in (NVIS, I guess might work). Still dig your stuff!
NB7O. Glad you like the Winlink Network. The volunteers do a lot of work on that system. seven three. BTW any idea when the Make a Pi V 3 will be available? I was telling another amateur about it. Waiting for its release to show him
We are nearing the end of the first round of beta testing. The second round of beta will go out to the newsletter group right afterward, hopefully in the next 10 days. You can get in on the second round of testing by signing up for the newsletter. Link in the description of every video.
@@KM4ACK Thanks for the hint about the newsletter. i subscribed to it. I look forward to seeing your next iteration of the build a pi. It may be a few days after it comes out b4 I can test it. I am busy with the winlink team and Quartzfest committee on a couple of projects. seven three de NB7O/Kevin BTW have you ever thought about making your way out to Arizona in January and doing a presentation at Quartzfest?
YO8SDE - although I don't think you'll send it overseas. Did you use the same coax cable when you did measurement with nanoVNA as the one connected to Yaesu? SWR for an antenna must measured at his end, not after some meters of coax cable, because that cable might become part of the antenna.
WD8WV This would make a good antenna for my portable setup along with my homebrewed WRC clone antenna!! That would work great with my 817ND radio. Great review Jason!! Keep up the good videos. 73 Juddie WD8WV
GIVEAWAY CLOSED 12JUNE2020 11:35Z
WX0EMT. Thanks for the vids Jason. Bob & Laura @ TN07 are wonderful folks!
N7FTM Looks like a great antenna to have on hand! Not needing a tuner means less items to carry in the field!

Welcome back!
KM6TRZ - The TN07 was new to me. Looks like a great field option. 73 Don
I have this antenna and just got a chance to really use it yesterday.
It really is as multi banded as the claims. I’m a newer Ham and haven’t had a lot of experience.., but this antenna seems good. I’m considering buying a second to put up at the QTH.
Excellent video. Where I live it is complicated to put up an antenna due to multiple powerlines on my property. Then there are also hills all around.
K5AZZ - Thanks for the opportunity Jason. Great video.
K7VIW - QRZ is current. Thanks for all the Raspberry Pi videos - thanks to Jason, my Pi4B is running JS8CALL.
Oh, forgot to mention, I love my NanoVNA!!! I actually had a MJF analyzer, but after getting the NanoVNA, well lets say it found a new home with a ham buddy of mine. 73 Juddie WD8WV
👍
KM4OCR -Working on my General now. Keep up the great work
KV4ZZ- you have renewed my interest in ham radio projects. Just got a pi a month ago and was wondering what to do with it when I discovered your videos and dug the ham gear back out of the closet. Keep up the great work.
NP3DP - Always great content. I love EF antennas, they're so easy to setup.
NE5U - QRZ is current. I've been contemplating building or buying an Endfed. Thanks for the opportunity. 73
KX4TQ I've been using their SS J-Pole antenna at my HOA restricted QTH and no one has seen/mentioned it. Great antenna and a great company.
K5RZ here. I have a similar antenna set up at home, but this one looks great for a portable rig!
Thank you for the video. Would be nice to see how you connected the balun, coax and wire.
WD2AJW -perfect timing.. looking for a new field ops antenna! Thanks for the review..
Nice to know the performance of this antenna. Mine is an End fed, 9:1 UNUN and 121' of wire. While good with internal tuner on IC-7300, still need external tuner for 160 meters only.
KA8M-Looks like a great little antenna.
KF4UPI - The antenna looks very solid. Thanks for the demo.
N9JA - The higher SWR may have been due to the measurement taken at 100W rather than with the mW of power from the NanoVNA.
WB4HAM looks like a good antenna. Thanks Jason!
N4UAX - First time visitor. Great review. Love your low hype style. Will look up your other videos.
KC9BMT I believe the tune function is intended for the screwdriver antenna, it’s probably not giving accurate measurements on a different antenna.
KF7VUT-. Impressive that it can cover all of 80m! I always trust the radio SWR as that is the one that decides when power is rolled back. As always, great vid. 73
W9YNK-Love the channel Jason. I’m a newer Ham and your channel has helped me get more excited about this hobby. 73

KB3CME- thanks for the great channel... learning how to program my PI with your info. Thanks
KJ7LVZ - Got an 891 a couple weeks ago, built a 10m dipole, nanoVNA is arriving tomorrow. That is for the Pi setup videos! Got on FT8 10m yesterday.
Looks like the perfect companion to the raspberry PI station and my Xeigu G90 for portable operation, tnx for all your hard work G3XOD
W4WLC - Looks like a great antenna. Enjoy your videos...
DB8GK - great videos in general, and a nice antenna in this one!

KM6ABF - Looks like a great option! Thanks for sharing your experience with it!
VA3LDM an end fed for multiple bands would be a good solution over my current setup ...
KD4RKI Thanks for all you do on UA-cam!
My pleasure!
Tnx Jason.
K9BBN Looks like a great "Go Box" antenna....Thanks Jason!
VA6GKT I've haven't had an antenna like this. Looks like it'll work better than my vertical.
N4JRX - I love the practicality of your approach. I would love to see you on the bands, but I'm too far for ground path, and too close to bounce a signal in (NVIS, I guess might work). Still dig your stuff!
I just came though crossville over the weekend. We could work each other on MTEARS :-)
Looks a nice antenna and a great setup Jason 👍
W4DOD- excellent review, Jason
KF4RAF, another great review. Thanks Jason, 73
How well does the antenna work though? My Cantenna will give me a 1:1 match across the whole HF spectrum. Haven't made many contacts on it though.
Looks like a great antenna de WQ1I
K5KHK - Looks interesting, and would be a nice addition to my POTA setup.
KK4URZ - I love antennas that don't require an antenna tuner and be effective. Looks like a great radio.

SWR for an antenna must measured at his end, not after some meters of coax cable, because that cable might become part of the antenna.
K5MRF - Looks like a great piece of equipment.
AA1AZ This is a new antenna to me. Looks interesting. Thanks, Jason, for all your work. It's really greatly appreciated. 73, christy
