Tim, this is truly one of the best and most beneficial ham radio videos I have seen in a long time here on YouTube University! That explains why my EFHW always works the best in the inverted-L position! I haven't been on POTA that much lately due to all sorts of family stuff. Hope to get back at it soon and get you back in the log regularly. 73 de N6VHF

Hi Tim, I found your channel by accident. From the spectrum of various HAM channels, finally content that will please the heart of every DX hunter. Radiation pattern and efficiency are more important than PSV 1:1... Demonstrative visualizations are valuable content. Thank you very much.

Tim, I watched this video first before going to Part 1. Both are excellent presentations - thank you!! I am a big fan of EFHW antenna, especially since I have a travel trailer sized lot. I have one big tree to throw my wire antennas over. 73!

This was brilliant, thank you! I'm about to put up a 'permanent' base-station EFHW at my mountain location and have been wondering what config I should deploy. This gives me more than enough food for thought. Great work and love your channel. Cheers and 73!
