Mate is h a 7 foot whip now it’s one of those M1 ECC uh multi-section whip antennas you screw them together I haven’t got the full one on I’ve got about 7 foot of it out of the 8 foot or so reason being I’ve got a loading call at the base by
Mad Dog uh Marty’s been in the chat actually the Mad Dog r guy uh it’s from VK from Australia and I’ve got four colar on it with a jump with a fly lead so I can move bands so I’ve got seeven the top color is 10 m just below is 15
Then 20 and down the bottom somewhere is 40 so it just gives me more very as you can tell it takes about what 10 seconds to go from band to band um simple easy to use and of course you can use different lens length um whips with it
You can do whatever bands you want the collars you get one collar with it the collars are a bit extra about maybe $20 us Australian dollars what I don’t know is in pounds but um there we are so that’s that’s it and I have got some
Videos on it and uh if you want to search for it it’s mad dog I think mad just search for Mad Dog coil and you’ll come up and it’s it’s Australian company and Marty’s very very good he’s a very nice guy and he’ll answer any questions you have so there you go right

Was that on 415 then 440 is he [Applause] rolling oh bloody hell I can hear him from here easy bit of an echo there is he going is he beaming long path relly listen to the echo Ry he’s beaming long path he’s he’s an MI Z he’s a full
License yeah he’s he’s a power station with a big beam but the sounds of it he’s coming back long path who’s that on 415 then America who guys if have you got access to the cluster who’s on 415 somebody’s running a pup who’s not giving his call 415 qrz your call
Please Germany 5 Tango Mike mobile Golf five Tango Mike mobile Golf five Tango Mexico mobile gol five Tango Mexico mobile gol five Tango Mexico mobile it’s Q8 I think is okay he’s 10 sounds quiet 472 or something problem you are but anyway I got it by five
By just going to try and get this guy from Tang okay respect but1 good luck to you have a nice we byebye 2 uni okay right oh I’m going to caught a day there I think but that was a bit of fun now the good thing about this morning is two
Good things first of all the speed of tuning between bands uh noise flow here is zero absolutely zero up here um so that’s why I come up here it’s much easier so um tuning between bands very quick very easy you saw how quick it was literally
5 Seconds to go from band to band which is why why i’ I’m using the Mad Dog coil at the moment because I’ll be honest with you the ability to switch bands like that is good now I have to use a 7 foot radiator to get 10 m with
The loading coil now that is a bit of a compromise on 40 and I know but to be honest there’s a lot of 7 foot long whips I know some are Center loaded Center loading gives you a bit more not as much as some people think it does I
Think personally but okay um but you know what it’s like on 40 especially for interg when interg is open then to be perfectly honest with you it’s open isn’t it and it’s only on in marginal conditions of when things start to slide away later in the evening in the UK
Towards Europe that you begin to suffer a bit with this but if if interg is there and everybody’s everybody else is 59 plus 20 if you’re 5’9 what the hell you know um so I actually think it works well it’s I got tell you guys I’m going
To bring a couple of videos out uh because I’ve got so much editing to do but um I I was out last night and I was out on Wednesday by by night I mean sort of late afternoon into sort of 55:30 it gets dark here about 5:00 so around the
Gry line and I have to tell you on 10 MERS I mean uh it’s just brilliant if you’re going to in the UK If you’re going to go out for 10 m or get on to 10 MERS get on after about 3:30 in the afternoon till about 6 30 at night
Because uh you’re you’re going to hear West Coast us booming in and you you’ll work them you’ll work them uh work a few six and seven stations without any problems at all um so pleased today to work roelly I might be a think that’s our first ever qso so Rie still watching
Mate I’m stoked to work you thank you and also vk5 so that was nice and lots of other stations including some of the guys in in UK on 40 so uh you know I just shows the versatility of the antenna I’m very happy with it now I’m
Not saying that I don’t like the slide Winder call the slide Winder call is much more Compact and lightweight I think for a truly portable setup which is what it’s for it’s still a great option um you can put it into your into your rck sack or in your go bag and
It’ll it’ll weigh nothing all right and it’s and you know how well that’s worked in the past for me it’s just at the moment what this option gives me is versatility changing band so quickly that’s what that’s the winner for me you know so what other things are we going
To do with it well I’m going to because the top of it screws off and you can put a nut in there and and a connector I’m going to use it as a as a base loading coil on 40 so I’m going to take out 7
Meter Pole to my favorite High spot I can’t stream unfortunately from there because the 4G is rubbish in fact it’s like one tiny bar a 5G good luck lucky with that you won’t get it um so I’m going have to record that but that’s going to be fun and the one I’m really
Looking forward to is 80 M now I’ve got a hold of a 12.4 meter Pole from Dix Commander I’m going to use that as a uh for a vertical maybe a gentle sloper actually just take it away from the car a bit because it’ll be on the drive on
Mount take it away from the car slightly as a sloper for 80 M again base load it with the coil and that should be hunky dory so I’m really looking forward to it you know to trying it out so a couple of experiments to come um I might even put
The coil on on the mount on top of the car and run a wire off it to a pole lots of things to try out I just love pratting around with antennas I’m sure you guys do too so there we are anyway uh a quick look at the chat because I’ve
Been rattling on here uh let’s have a look so uh Walt’s on his way out so he’ll enjoy himself uh John I think you said you had an M5 JFS you’re heading up to the hill I think I know it’s when you’re going to so I hope it goes well
For you up there uh thank you John North that’s very kind you made it in with Mi Z I’m not surprised roelly I mean he’s he’s he’s probably running a lot of Power Mate I’m glad you made the qso and John ei5 jmn was good to work you again
Mate absolutely fantastic I always hear you so there we are anyway guys I’m going to go I’ve got a daughter to pick up and probably have to navigate a fallen tree if you didn’t tune in at the start of the uh the stream I I managed
To sort of stop about 20 ft as a tree came down this morning on the way up here but I’m covered in sap so it’s not a pretty sight anyway um I’m wish 73 have a great weekend a couple of videos that come out maybe one tonight or
Tomorrow and one Monday just stuff like this again but I’ve got some other stuff planned which is more to do with the antenna stuff uh looking at at half waves and things and things like that and uh looking at 5 degree takeoff angles seems to be a Hot Topic at the
Moment for some reason anyway 73 all the best Marty thank for making me uh making a great morning for me with your great Kyle Marty thank you and roelly good to hear you mate and good to work you 73 I’m going to be un professional now and
Poke you in the eye to stop the stream sorry about that all the best have a great Saturday and by the way steu g5s you I think it’s just gone live so if you want to catch a stream tune in to Stu he’s there now all the best bye for now

Hi Tim good work mate ….
If l knew you were going to play radio last night l would have been on the radio myself today…
another good trip out Tim, well done
As to the difference Center Loading makes over Base Loading… LB Cebik W4RNL (SK) tested and modeled the Inverted U antenna, a horizontal dipole with the outer half of each element drooping straight down, and found only a 0.6 db (1/10th S-Unit) loss in horizontally polarized signal. This is roughly equivalent to true mid loading of a 1/4 wave antennas element. And it verifies what I've heard from multiple sources, and read in the ARRL Antenna Handbooks for decades that most of an antennas radiation comes from its high current points close to its feedpoint in a 1/4th wave element. ARRL publications also recommend Center over Base loading.
Of course if your placing the Loading Coil only a few feet from a "Center Loaded" elements feedpoint, its Not truly Center Loaded on 40, 60, 75/80, or 160 meters, so the effect would be minimal. Do it 4 ft away on 10 meters, 8 ft away on 20 meters, or 16 ft away on 40 meters…, and its truly center loaded, so the difference between Center and Base Loading Should be much greater.
This testing should preferably be done at poor propagation times (or on lower frequencies like 75/80, or160 meters) because when the bands are HOT people make contacts all over with a coathanger, screen door… or other poorly radiating antennas. I've noticed that Solar Cycle after Cycle several, what I call New Miracle Antennas, are sold and become popular when the bands are HOT, just to totally fall out of favor when the rubber meets the road and propagation falters. BUT proven center loaded design for mobile use like Bug Catchers, Hustler Resonators, Screw Driver… Don’t fall out of favor, they Just Keep On Keeping On!
On 160 meters the Sun Spot Cycle makes minimal difference, its more about Atmospheric Absorption during Day / Night and Summer / Winter. That’s why its a great band to do antenna testing on. 20 meters with its fairly constant good to great propagation. Not So Much.
If / When you test and compare the Mad Dog coil in Center vs. Base loaded configuration, please keep this in mind.
73 mike
Very nice, I want that antenna ! G5MAN
Bit off topic, but think I bought that same fleece top. Comfy but the zip jabs me in the neck 🙂
