CUSTOMERS FEEDBACK

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.

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.

Carl, i am not sure what i should say to you regarding this antenna!

Apart from INCREDIBLE, i just love it, from the minute i opened the bag and saw the care you had taken to pack it properly i knew it was going to be a good antenna. But  i had no idea it was going to be this enjoyable to use.
I just cannot believe how easy it is to put together and handle, my little boy Josh 7years old did everything bar put the top section on, he even fed the solder in to the pl259s hi hi!
He was so chuffed after the first contact was made and really enjoyed himself, as did i. Wonderfully put together, quality piece of ham radio kit!

I am at the moment switching between the quad at 35 feet and the i-pro on 14.210 listening to a station in midwest usa, he is 4/3 to 5/4 on the i-pro..... i cannot get a clear copy on him with the quad!
 
Obviousely it is very early days and i am sure conditions will change from day to day giving differing results with diferent angles of signals etc.
 
Anyhow it works, i will try the other bands as soon as i get the chance, i'll keep a log of contacts.
 
By the way output power for the above contacts was 40 watts pep.
 
I have the acom 1000 on standby, but havent had to use it yet! Most unusual for me!
 
Regards and thanks for a really great product.

Hi Carl,
Thanks for the antenna, received yesterday afternoon.
My first contact was with SI9AM on 14.225, he gave me
5/9+and I gave him the same. My next contact was on 18.155 9H1VC and both ways was 5/9.
And the antenna was at the back of our cottage between all the houses around us.
So the next couple of weeks I shall be trying some different frequencies.
Thanks for your help
Regards,

This antenna has put the excitement back into the hobby. Operating close to salt water, I broke a Euro pile up on 20m and worked VK7CEJ (Tasmania). On the 17m band I was working east coast USA, but the icing on the cake was working W7RSC (Salt Lake City). When I'm not using it portable it is set up in my small garden, this is one portable antenna that won't be collecting dust for most of the year! The DMV Pro is proving to be one of my best amateur radio purchases.
