Antennas / Eagle One Portable Vertical HF Antenna
March 30, 2015, 11:24:59 AM

Has anybody used an Eagle One vertical antenna? (http://www.w8afx.com)

It gets a lot of good comments and looks like it would be an easy grab-and-go antenna.

Anyone here ever used one??

Antennas / W3EDP, 160-10 meter portable antenna
January 19, 2015, 10:31:31 AM
Hey Guys,

I've been reading and enjoying all your posts about EFHW antennas and was pretty settled on getting one on the air. However, I stumbled across an article about the W3EDP antenna that looked interesting. Been doing a lot of research on it and wanted to mention it here because it maybe something some of you will find interesting.

I haven't built one yet (this week I hope) but it looks very easy to build and supposedly is a good performer. I've included several links below about this antenna, what do you think??

Hello everyone,

Been thinking about getting a new rig. For some reason I've gotten fixated on the Ten-Tec Argonaut VI. I know, it doesn't cover 12 or 6 meters but I don't really hang out there anyway so I'm not bothered much by those omissions. I've also been reading about LNR's new LD-5. Looks interesting and the price is right. I am a little concerned about the LD-5 build quality. On the other hand their antennas are great.

Ideally I think I'd like to get the Argo VI primarily for home use and get a MTR3 from LNR to use out in the field.

Any opinions or comments would be helpful and appreciated.

Thanks -

Hi Guys,

Wanted to introduce myself and say hi. Been a QRP'er for almost 10 years. My rigs are a NorCal 40A and a Wilderness Sierra. Going to Dayton this year to check out Elecraft and LNR and hopefully come home with a new radio!  :D

I'm happy to have found this group. Many interesting and helpful conversations here.
