In order of antenna purposely, some peoples was thinking use the tuned one much better because can get full power on Tx side..exactly correct..but how about the Long Wire (LW) antenna..must use tuner right?? yupp..no body want to use it w/out ATU..hi hi..it's can make your transmitter burn..can say all hams got the big/gaint ATU with indicator plus can handle up to 3k power output..so, what for u keep that ATU, utilize it as u can..furthermore, everybody know ATU can save everythings like Transmitter & lower down VSWR for Tx side..i have read some article which said 'ATU are to fool the Transmitter & the operator'..i have no doubt about that but for make all save better use ATU otherwise your antenna really tuned or at the range save VSWR..
May be this is a 'toy' awaiting by Class B holder (9W's) at Malaysia..hi hi..got some people said this antenna look damb but as long as i can make contacts still ok for me..frankly to say this helix absalutely fantastic in RX & TX..with this little helix i got several contact on 10m band during mobile..with very gud propagations..i have made contacts on this helix as below :as per usual, my power always 50w on this helix with FT857D..speed approx. 60km/h..i hope this results can promote Class B holder to move one step up to HF..hope to see u again down the log..i'm always calling CQ DX 10 during mobile when propagation is gud..
