Bought one and put it on the balcony (Using Tripod) in an apartment, connected to an Icom 705... 5 watts. Played on 15mtrs, getting out all over the place 5/6 to 5/9. Very simple to use and a reasonable price. Also great for going out and parking up and run the antenna spiked in the ground. Good quality and easy to leave in the boot. Glad I bought one :-) Very easy to set up and tune (no ATU needed) Eric - G4VZZ

Ed, many thanks for your report on this antenna. It does work very well, and very popular for portable ops.

I like the high visibility of the counterpoise. Great for POTA

This antenna seems to be pretty good. I do the same with a vertical whip and a slide winder coil, but having this antenna would make portable ops a easier. Unfortunately I don’t have the budget to buy one but it’s a good antenna. 73

Hi Gary/Richard, conditions the last few weeks have been rough with solar flares. This antenna is a full size 1/4wave on all bands. It’s bound to perform well. Perhaps consider beach portable for a saltwater boost or somewhere high. Also running the 6100 off external power for the full 10watts would help a little too. Looks a lovely antenna. Think it’s perfect without the tripod. 73 Steve MW0SAW

That's a fantastic bag. I've put my IC-705 in it!

Very cool idea marking the antenna with the band. Would be interesting to see it setup as an EFHW on 10M or 12M. I’m sure a 49:1 or 56:1 transformer would be needed.

I'd be interested to see how it handles a SOTA summit. As you said in the video, you would probably need to weigh down the tripod (or guy it somehow). It would probably be ok without if using the spike. I'm guessing performance would be similar to my MRQ-213 & Slidewinder coil setup that I normally use. I seem to test my equipment to the edge of destruction. I'm more than happy to take it up a mountain & put it through it's paces on my channel if Martin wants to loan me one or do some kind of a deal!

I have this antenna with the tripod, and I regularly set up on the shore of the Maine island I live on - when it is windy, I put a few rocks on the three legs of the tripod and I’ve never had any trouble.
