Why not just load up the "Clark" 40 footer in the background, stick another 20 ft of light gauge Ali pole into it with some top loading and it would out preform this new demo vertical hands down.
My HF9V is a real performer, especially since I installed 64 radials (and covered it with volcanic landscaping rock). I make use of an electric hedger to bury radials in the yard when I can't simply bury them like I did with the Butternut.
I brought the same HF3B, the worse one I had. It's impossible to use it on the three bands and never in 160. On 80 no one listen me. Now it's into my garage and I am use an inverted L for lower bands.
blue yellow is the doorknob capacitor? woul you be so kind to tell me the mfarads & max voltage for the capacitors?
im working allso in a vertical portable antenna for 40 and 80 but for 160 dont know the exact capacitor needed

I like the idea of the trailer mounted mast in the back ground.

Is that a matching coil on the bottom and a loading coil in the middle?
