I MIGHT move #HamRadio masts today.

Now that I've had a while to get to know the #DxCommander #MultiBandVertical, it's clear it has different compromises from the #TuneATenna. I can't get dead-on resonant on ANY HF band, like I can with the Tune-A-Tenna.

HOWEVER, the optimum height above ground for a vertical on any band is 0ft. For the #InvertedVee, it's different on every band, & the Tune-A-Tenna is only remote-adjustable for element length, not height.

#HeightIsEverything on VHF.

My main HF antenna, a remotely adjustable #InvertedVee #HalfWaveDipole, had lowered itself about half a foot with wind & precip. Pulley'd the feed box down, extended the mast a bit, adjusted the tension on the guys, & now it's back up at about 35'.

Then brought out the #DxCommander multi-band fan vertical, & got all its wires un-tangled from a total mystery (thought I'd put it away in such a way that I'd be able to just telescope it back out & stand it up). The vertical is set out front by...

I mean let's face it, that's a beautiful sky, and a beautiful #HamRadio #hfAntenna ...with an Abe Lincoln style stovepipe hat on top of it, made of snow.

It's great to have an #InvertedVee #dipole that's perfectly tuned for wherever I'm operating. As shown here, it's set for 6m... where I don't expect to see much action today, but one never knows.
