Hi Andrew, great videos BTW. Hey, I was wondering what antenna are you using on your VX-8R handheld radio?

Andrew, That HF antenna your using, how has it held up? I bought two clothes lines at Walmart that look exactly the same, except for the little protrusion with the small hole in it, and I still have it but it pops open. I used #18 stranded wire (cut for 40 meters) with a Budwick to feed it. Considering buying what you have or possible roll my own. Thanks, nice video.

I used the baby dipole that rolls out and just tied ends off with some para cord rope I had for my regular antennas. when I got to use them in the woods, I just strung the wire over tree branches I could reach and wasnt going for extreme height or a big setup.. just kinda see what it could do =)
