How to erect an HF aerial in less than 2 minutes

This video must be fake. I can not see the wire. It takes at least 10 minutes for me to solve my tangled wire - every time :-) Good DX! 73 de OH2FRM

@aholatom If you Wind the wire around the peg and put the peg in a thin cloth bag it helps me prevent tangles.73 KF5IMB

Okay, now I've gotta try this. All I really need is a telescoping pole or something that'll stand up tall enough.

And hope there is no wind

@markbeermonster

Newcomer! The best length? If you want to operate 70 cm, you best take 35 cm . . . ;-]

Great location. Imagine a week or two up there with a motorhome.

Was the antenna center-fed or end-fed?

For those of us who are new to the hobby, what antenna mast are you using and who sells these? Thanks.

@miguest66 Inverted-V, make it. Google, it's a half-wave dipole.

Hey Richard, what size SOTA pole is that? the 7 or 10? and did you make the antenna yourself?

Just asking for a quick kit list for how to get somthing like that up in a field for some /P work and connect to the radio in the car or something, if it fits in a backpack to lug up mountains it will fit in the boot and make for some good hobbying.

cool
