PFR-3 MULTI-BAND END FED ANTENNA

Hendricks PFR-3 Portable Field Radio battery powered using end fed 10.4m (34 ft) wire antenna with 4.6m (15 ft) counterpoise on 40 and 20 meter bands. This antenna is efficient and simple. Lack of a transmission line makes it suited for quick portable installations since it requires only one support.

K1 or Hendirks PFR3: what do you suggest? Purchasing K1 you get what you pay or is it overpriced? Thanks.

@franziski71 Thanks for the question. Sorry, I haven't built the K1 yet. 73 de NG9D

What a great QRP CW project. I might just have to build one for the fun of it. How long did it take you to construct?

The XYLs obviously are enthralled as well.

Good work and 73

@VK2BEN The PFR-3A project went together quickly, once I obtained all the needed parts. I ordered the kit 12 April - but it took total of 3 shipments to finally get all parts needed and the final package arrived in June.

I filmed as I went and posted on YouTube same day, date stamps show receiver made 13 June, transmitter made 20 June and 1st QSO 21 June.

Yes, in several of my videos you can hear my XYL imploring me to resume normal day-to-day activities hi hi.
