How does this look? The scale is 1cm for major lines.

More great ideas - thanks!

Brian,
I like it! Thanks.

That's it! It's well designed and comes in a great case. As far as size and weight it's about the same as a large folding camping chair when packed up.

try it at the seaside

That's a great idea!

I'm working on that exact idea - a housing with a 9:1 unun and a choke, and those brass connectors that are used for linked dipoles glued to the outside to connect the wires. I have a 35.5/17 foot EFRW as my primary home antenna, but I can have both 35.5 and a 29 foot wires for portable operations. ...

I like the idea. I think I forgot about it because it's too big for me to take on an airplane, but for a local activation it would be perfect! However, I'm glad I broke the base of the magloop close to home - I was able to modify the design with a thicker base and reprint it that evening. 73, Mike, ...

Ok, now I feel like a dummy. I have a TransWorld TW2010 (pretty much a commercial version of your double T bar) but I was concerned about taking up too much space in the car. Next time...

Bringing the "toy" vertical was a mistake, but I think it's good to have a wire antenna as primary, and the magloop (or other non-wire antenna) as a backup. I was in Arizona last year, and while I was allowed to put an antenna in a tree, there weren't any good candidates so I ended up usin...

I activated Greenbelt Park (US-0668) on Saturday. By half an hour of operating, I was on my third antenna. I started (or tried to start) with a magloop, but a gust of wind knocked it over and broke the base. I then tried using a very small loaded whip, but after 10 minutes of calling CQ POTA without...

Thanks. I’m planning to set it relatively low. My trusdx rigs’ sidetone is tied to the overall volume, so when I turn up the volume to dig out a weak signal the Sidetone is painful!
