I built something similar a few weeks ago using that same 5.6m Chinese telescopic whip. The metric base is close to the standard 3/8 - 24 and can be rethreaded with a die. In my case I use a screw-in base but I still needed to add some lightweight guy cords part of a way up. 73 Ed.

Good thinking on changing out the connectors for the radials.

Metric base on antenna... I got some metric coupling nuts and had a local welder welt them to the head of some 3/8 x 24 bolts...Adapter!

nice review and for radials -- maybe use insulated spade style....as a male and a female combo would slipping them on and off a breeze. Thank you for the review...

It should work on 6m's also. You might have to make 4 1/4 wave radials for that band but it will work.

Nice review, how do you think it will stand up to the wind? Thinking of summits on the air activations. Cheers

Not yet. On the to-do list for sure.

anything more than 4 radial is minimum efficency gain for ALOT more material. so its pretty much useless in most cases.
