Thanks Jack, Nice demo...

[USmilitaryfan]

sir... you have a great radio voice!

thank you for the video!

[smartvhf]

why in the world did you do this? Isn't there a pl-259 to SMA male cable to use with this antenna? Good presentation.

I see how the alligator clip goes on the miracle whip, but can't see where the other end of the clip attaches to the vx-7r ?? ////////// opps I just saw it, very briefly, clipped to the tip of the radio antenna. Thx

You talk too much, cant hear the radio.

Excellent!

I have the "Ducker IL" and use just a plain diamond whip. I install that on an Icom R20 or my AOR 8200. It installs as a BNC-BNC configuration so no Rigging such as your Demo.....As yours, it significantly increases SWL reception and is a valued tool in my shack. Thanks for the Video.

wow that antenna works

[saspgmer]

What is the range of the VX-8?

1/2 mile?

1 mile?

[KJ4TEE]

NICE I have the vx-7r silver

[ogunjobi]

If you have 2 ham radio transceivers what is the range on them?

[lesbenterror]

man you are a genius i am going to try this..

first of course i will buy that yaesu transceiver next month (need a new 2m 70cm transceiver) and the prices are good enough right now.

I will check out the shortwave-receiver function, thats a nice idea you ve show'n

I am looking at putting together a disaster kit - being the anniversary of the Loma Prieta quake.

If two people had this setup, what would the range be? Five miles?

Would something portable like this be plausible for communicating with the outside world?

[haansgruber]

Yes, very nice for hiking and backpacking

peace :)

Hi Jack...

Very nice demonstration and video. We now have the Miracle Ducker IL that's designed for hand-helds.

Thanks for this - Robert Victor VA2ERY
