Carl,
Have just operated mobile with the motorhome for the first time.
Excellent!
A). My wife was watching the television only 8 ft away, through a typical van aerial and pre-amp. No sign of TVI at 100w pep. No doubt due to the dipole being at or near resonance.
B). Even on 40m where the physical dimensions of the dipole are extremely short, I have been able to hold my own in European nets.
C). Very easy to deploy with repeatable resonance and swr. Just 5 minutes and it's ready to operate.
Please feel free to use this email
In any advertising.
In all, the best portable aerial I have ever used. Thanks Carl

Hi Carl, I thought I’d let you know that all was well when I unpacked the antenna. I must compliment you on the standard of manufacture, packing and presentation. First class! All went together easily and a first few contacts made without trouble. I’m looking forward to taking it to Italy. 73 Nick
Hi Carl
This is an astonishing antenna! Used it on 20 to lose my cherry of almost 30 years of not being QRV . Probably be up all night now, but what the hell. Erected it in less than 15 minutes, and it just works. I was suspicious of the 1:1 SWR until I worked my first QSO. And of course I can lay it flat if there are any questions asked. Now listening to DX which I haven’t heard for years.
So, can’t fault it. Money well spent. Well done.
