    Awesome Camera Man, you had. You need to hire him more
  • @Matthew-KN4QHQ
    Best use of a chalk line winder, too cool. Just when you think there is nothing more to add in the antenna market the creativity comes out. Thank you for showing this! 73.
  • @bbwoodwork
    The slide on top is for putting chalk inside a speed chalk line, which they used to house the antenna wire.
  • @ryankc9oza118
    Ive had mine for few months. Good antenna. Used it to activate at the huntsville Hamfest in the park
  • @hamradiobasics
    That's a great option for quick setup. Thank you for sharing Jason !
  • @SevenFortyOne
    A local ham-friend of mine home-brewed something like that a while back and I really liked the concept. The reel makes setup and takedown easier if you are in a hurry. storing the antenna when not in use is also more convenient with this design. I've been waiting for someone to make something like this and sell it in the Ham community...thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for sharing Jason, just ordered the antenna with the link!
  • @blueboy1183

  • @Craigeek
    Mine just came in the mail yesterday. I guess I wasn't expecting how big it feels in real life haha. Although I'm thinking about trying this for SOTA work too. Neat that it's tunable!
  • @kleeni4920
    Love your video! you are quite professional and the suggestion is useful and meaningful!🤩
  • @DominicMazoch
    Jason, nice to hear you on the TX DMR net last night.
  • @robertmeyer4744
    looks like a great and fun antenna to use. I am in NY and 10 meters really going. even the AM part. today was down a bit but workable. lots of great antenna's out now. love that POTAFLEX 7. works great 2 meters as well . nice park. great POTA spot . Hope to do SSTV POTA this spring/summer. maybe some 6 meters ! 73's

    what gorgeous weather - envious of the contacts and lovely WX - its wet, very wet here in the UK...
  • @k6usy
    Just did a QRP activation all on 10m SSB & FT8, I was expecting to have to switch bands but 10m was rockn' .
  • @thomashardy9994
    I saw a review on this antenna months ago, but neglected to buy it, and found them to be out of stock. Snagged one today.
