Review: Very nice portable/temp vertical (12m, works on 10 and 15m) - I ordered the 285cm version; 9.3ish feet, and it tunes up perfectly on 12meters, as expected. (Helpful hint for any brand-new hams who haven't done this: tune for *resonance* (x=0) first, tune the antenna physically if you can, and only then tune the SWR if needed. Works great!) This antenna is not resonant (of course) on 15 and 10 meters (10 is close), but the internal tuner on my G90 tunes this antenna up very nicely for SWR. (Not as good as resonant + good SWR, remember) The 3/8x24 mount is ideal for many portable/mobile/lightweight/etc antennas and I think it's a good choice for this one. Oh, and there were comments from others about not getting good contact between sections, or bits of plastic, or such. Mine had no such problems, straight out of the tube. Remembering that this is a light-duty sort of antenna--great for portable/temporary use--it's quite nice. Works exactly as a quarterwave vertical for 12 meters should (with radials) and exactly as well as it should on 15m and (better) 10m. I won't know the price in the future but the price when I got mine was quite reasonable. I'm very pleased with this antenna. 73 de AC4RD (Ken.)
Review: Good ham antenna - It got me contacts across the country on the 10m band. You’ll need this antenna and a balun- the CHA Hybrid Micro is good, or a knockoff. (This antenna is actually a knockoff of a CHA antenna. My whole setup is an eclectic combination of CHA products and obvious knockoffs of CHA products.) Of course you will need a feed line (male to male UHF connectors on RG-58 or better coax) and a counterpoise (long wire hugging the ground) to complete your setup. If you don’t need the collapsibility, consider a simple telescoping 18’ stainless steel antenna. Chinese examples are available all over the web at ~$20. One advantage this collapsible does have over the stainless steel antennae is that it’s threaded for 3/8-24. The stainless steel ones are threaded (as they specify) to a metric standard that needs an adapter to interface with your balun.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this whip work with 6m SSB?**
A: It's almost exactly 1/2 wave on 6m.  I use a small tuner with it and it works fine on 6m.  I haven't tried it without a tuner.

**Q: Is the tip threaded?  If so what is the thread size?**
A: Yes, the tip cap inside is threaded, and size is M16*1.  The bottom thread size is standard 3/8-24.

**Q: can this fit a baofeng two way radio bf-888s?**
A: This antenna is 9ft tall. It will not fit on a BF888s.

**Q: It works directly without any tuning?**
A: Its made for hf radio with a tuner. It is a bit longer than a CB whip but seems to work ok. You could trim it with a bit of skill but it needs a groundplane first and its portable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good as a CB antenna. In my testing it resonates best at 25-28mhz, but will do 40-15 with a coil
*by A***M on February 14, 2022*

Was hoping to use this for portable ham HF, and with small a coil it will do 40, 20, 17 and 15 meters well. I run a Wolf River Cools "SOTA Special" antenna setup which comes with a 77” telescoping element, and I prefer that one over this one. Thought I'd give this a shot because I was curious, and I know everyone’s setups vary, but for me there’s no advantage to a ~3' longer antenna. It's actually less versatile than what I already had. I can do a lot with this antenna, sure, but I can do MORE with the shorter one that came with the Wolf River package, like 6M if I collapse it a little, and the shorter antenna is easier to deal with, so it makes more sense to carry that. I don't know how people are able to get this to resonate on 20m on its own with no coil. I put the NanoVNA on it and it has a nice dip (but not even that close to 1:1) at about 27mhz, nowhere else. Durable antenna though - looks to be the same as what you get with the Chameleon MPAS, and it’ll at least work as a CB antenna with no coil.
