Yes, I made a 10 meter dipole for use with voice and digital modes, mainly FT8. You can search my call sign on qrz.com and view my FT8 log book. My call sign is KJ5GHX.

I’ve got one, in the morning I’ll do the same thing. so … “sections” refer to the extensions of the telescopic part? I saw another article referring to sections and thought they were the aluminium pole under the coil. There are four parts to the pole that screw together. The manual mangles the English.

Yes the sections that i am talking about is the poles under the the coil, but when im talking 5 and a quarter sections im talking about the whip, for 10 meters i used all 4 pole sections then put the coil on top of that and i moved the coil slider all the way to the top of the coil, then extened the whip all the way out and then push in 5 sections back into the whip then after that i push in a quarter more. And i was getting 2.2:1 swr but with the atu-100 automatic tuner it brought it down to 1.09:1 swr. Hope that makes sense

@@361cctx-vv6chThanks for your answer, on another youtube, I found a set of instructions for each band from a German guy. I was playing with the antenna today. I got low SWR except for the 15M band, I had trouble with that. I’ll try again tomorrow.
