I will go for the EFHW every time - soooooooooooo much easier and quicker to setup, lighter, no nasty radials to lay out and packs much smaller for portable ops

I personally like the MyAntennas EFHW and random wire transformers. They are expensive though but built soooo well.

I have a Par End-fedz antenna and it works great for me. Most of my contacts have been on 20 and 40 meters the last few months. I have worked most of the US states except the far west coast and I am in Rhode Island. Very happy with mine.

I like the new rug. It really ties the room together.

I like my MyAntennas 40-10 end fed. Two of my friends have the 80-10 versions and we all like them. Well built. They work as advertised.<br><br>Dave K8WPE

Thanks for the feedback on the POTA logging. I was not logging as a hunter when I was in a park but I will make sure I upload my log going forward. Thanks Mike

Anyone with a beautiful black kitty like the one I saw here has to be a good guy :) I had one for almost 20 years, sadly he's gone now, but was one of the best cats I've owned. Scratch that, I don't own cats, they own me ;)<br><br>Oh yeah, the ham content is good also!

Recently purchased to DX Commander Signature 9, the guyless version you slip over a tube in the ground. I now really enjoy jumping from band to band and not having to turn down the power to tune or listing to relay chatter. Good answer to a tough question.

Thanks, Mike. It's always great to see the cat.
