QSB?? Probably meant to say QRM. MadDog coil looks like it’s built very well and great that you can incorporate Wolf’s parts into it which makes it unique. I don’t care for my Wolf find it a pain. The other similar coil from REZ looks solid too. When you compared side by side you could see the quality and development time put into the MadDog. Thanks for the video.

Andrew yes you are correct. In the "moment" my brain and mouth are never in sync :) Yea if I could get a Rez coil I would do a head to head comparison as well. Thanks for watching and hope to see you on the live stream where we will be giving it away!

I have less than $25 invested in my homemade multi-band coil, and that included buying a die to cut threads in my 1-1/2 PVC pipe to wind wire into to make coil. worksas great as either the Mad Dog or Wolf River Coils!

Hello Eric, I have tested the mad dog 80. Great coil❤ What kind of tripod do you use and what do you use to make it a center loaded coil?
@N1JUR

The tripod is a wolf river coil 24" base. I use two 24" threaded rods. Its the WRC Center Loaded Kit.

I’m using the 80 mad dog similar to you. MD coil, WR large tripod, and Faraday cloth. I just received the 160 m coil (still in the box) that I’m eager to try.

I always run at 80watts for SSB. I should have maybe bumped it up do the band conditions but overall it went really well

You said that the _Mad Dog Coil_ didn’t come with all the accessories, so you used the ones you had from _Wolf River Coils._ Assuming you hadn’t made the initial WRC purchase, would you still purchase the WRC accessories to go with your _Mad Dog?_ *73 de AF6AS in **_“DM13”_** land*

In terms of having stock its a tough one. As I know WRC and Rez frequently have supply issues. So I would go with who's got stock. But the nice thing is that parts are very interchangeable as the coil allows for ground radials, has a bypass and is a 10/24 thread so you have options for other mounts from other manufacturers.

I've struggled to get my mad dog 10m-40m antenna to tune using several different mounting options to get it to work.

Mike, A couple of things.. how are you mounting your coil? what type/length of whip are you using and how long are your radials. if I know that I can help you get that antenna tuned. As its pretty easy once you understand the antenna

How do you tune this coil with just an IC-705?
@N1JUR
2 ай бұрын
If you dont have a SWR analyzer then you can turn up your radio to an open frequency on the band you want to use and listen to the static noise as it gets louder you'll be closer to being tuned.

Old habits, lol. No more Kilo park numbers! Looks like a nice antenna, but I would rather use the EFHW where I don't need to tune band changes. That's my biggest complaint with the coil antennas. The WRC did it's job in the wildlife refuges though. Nothing allowed in the ground on in the trees, so a freestanding vertical is the only option. Keep up the great videos!

William I don’t have those numbers personally so I reached out to the designer himself and here is what he said. “I don’t have Q numbers that I can publish as these vary with specific frequency and I don’t not have professional LCR test equipment to be able to certify such Q values, but like any 107 uH inductor in a vertical antenna configuration the more inductance the higher the Q. The bandwidth on the 80 meter band using the 80 model and a 17ft whip to be within SWR 3.0:1 range is 250khz. At the middle of this sweep the SWR dipped to 1.2:1. Hope that helps.
