Sandpiper V5+3

Testing at the moment in another QTH, with more height than here. Works on 10/12/15/17/20/30/40/80 Mtrs AND for information, is a 1/4 on all bands. Tested here with 100w and an ATU, works also on 27mhz FM CB and also some other bands outside of those that are mentioned.
WELL MADE, and will test it at home after my illness ends hopefully.
Price around 150euro delivered from WIMO. Some EC bands are working also, but 6.6mhz is not resonant, and has not so far been tuned too.

Hi chaps, does anyone know what the maximum power output on this would be?

[simonthewizard]

Hi There, the maximum power from this one is rated at 200watts, ATU is needed and antenna acts as a 1/2 on the bands it is supplied to work with. 73s Simon

Hi Neil, Thanks for the comment and not anything was added here to the radials and the antenna comes in with the ATU on all the bands that it is quoted, and indeed works 27mhz partially down to 27200. How is the MV6? Any feedback at all, slowly slowly getting better, thanks for the thought

My MV4+2 was very good - now I have gone for the larger V9 (160-10m) to put on my main mast. 73 Mike M0SAZ

Just errected the MA4+2. Check out my review by following the link to my blog on my QRZ page. 73 DE Mike M0SAZ

I have just bought the MV4+2. I am hoping the size (2.2m) will not rock and send a rumbling through the house (mounted on the chimney stack) that even my Cushcraft MA6VA does at 4.5m. I just want something that doesn't make a lot of noise and will be pretty good in the high winds - i.e. as bomb proof as possible like my other antennas. 73 DE Mike M0SAZ

Hope you feel better soon. I have the Sandpiper MV6 and quite impressed wirh the antenna. Did you have to add radials as i was told it would need them if yo munted it to far up in the air.
