Hey Cal, I just wanted to tell someone (my wife doesn’t understand me 😂) that I had an FT8 QSO with DP0GVN this morning using the Signature 9. It’s a research station in Antarctica. That has really brightened up my day as I lay in bed with a nasty chest infection. 🤢

You are brilliant man. Your overviews, lessons and advice are so great without all the marketing that other manufactures have.

My 12.4m Signature has been up well over a year without an issue. I put self amalg tape around the joints before putting on the clamps. It's never once came down in a storm.

Verticals are simply the best, although I must say, using your 80m inv L gave me my first real dx on 80m.

Hi Callum. Listening to you say that the 80mtr needs to come off the center of the pole/ spreader, I have my 80mtr wire going off the first spreader across to the trees at the side of our house. I'm lucky here as were around 60ft above a river with a steep bank coming up to "ground level" so all i did was put it up through the first spreader then slung it as hard as i could into the trees with a 2 ounce fishing weight and that's it. It hangs somewhere towards the river but it works fantastically well. On Sunday 14th Jan 24 I worked ZL4KX in New Zealand on my 80 mtr wire, Ive also worked the world on the other bands also. <br> I couldn't be any happier with what you've mastered for the radio community. <br>Keep up the good work.<br>All the best.<br><br>Paul MW6PNW in South Wales
