Chameleon also has a 25’ extendable whip for $100. Also available at DX Engineering with free shipping due to price. Very well built. Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2025 11:10 PM To:

I am building a 6 m 2 el Yagi dK7ZB design and it is matched with a transformer made from 75 Ohm coax. 2 stubs of 1/4 Lambda in parallel. I tohought I could ?put a 28 Ohm resistor replacing the

Doug, I too am enjoying this thread. Do you have a reference for the HB vertical, how it is used/connected, or is it a QRPGuys design? I am always looking for antennas to play with, test and

My packable go-anywhere antenna is the Gabil GRA-7350TC (available on Amazon).? It is perhaps best-described as a small manual-screwdriver-type antenna with a removeable telescopic whip. When

My preferred is the AT271 bungee cord whips they are 9.3FT (least mine are). The fold down to 16" and assemble very fast and strong.??They are avaiable from several sources, not all identical.?

The Chameleon whips are built pretty well at the bottom. The early MFJ whips were quite fragile, but the later ones were much better. The Chameleons are still built better than the MFJ

I changed the subject to make this a bit easier to follow. I got the whip for 10-40 m operation ...............................It's even taller than Dan

I forgot to answer one question…since I’m 6’7 and almost always using the KH1 standing,the radial(s) are much more than a‘foot or two’ off the ground ?. Dan Presley

?We can (and should) debate the relative merits of various antennas,but the bottom line is what compromises are you willing to accept? In my case being able to have very small and portable setup is

It is VERY similar, but MFJ sold a slightly weaker version that came from China.? The Chameleon SS17 is made in the U.S. and is slightly stronger.? There are minor differences in the dimensions.?

WRC makes decent whips too - though I don’t have a Chameleon to do a direct comparison,. https://www.wolfrivercoils.com/order.html 73 -- Matt N3AR

Those are the same that MFJ used to sell before they went closed their doors. I use one for several HB antennas and it works very well alone. You can even base load one easily. 73, Mike n6zw

Except that the AX1 isn't enough of a vertical to actually act like a short vertical.? If you model an AX1 and look at the current distribution you will see that most of it is in the counterpoise

I’ve used this strategy on bare summits above 3-4000 feet with some success. Unfortunately at sea level or low elevation you’re just warming the earthworms. Any type of short vertical with an

You should try the EFRW sometime just laying on the ground, or maybe laying across a rock.? I'll say again ... most of the radiating from an AX1 comes from either the counterpoise or the shield of
