Thanks for the video Bob. I’ve been an MPAS user for a couple of years, mainly as a vertical that I carry in my Motorhome. You’ve provided some ideas for options! Good stuff!

[JamesHindsWATJ]

Thanks for the video Bob. Lots of great ideas. I am really enjoying the series.

[KCNWK]

Absolutely enjoying this series. I see myself needing all these pieces. :) Thanks for another awesome video! 73

Exceptional presentation. Thank you. How did you create the concrete pillar for the portable mast?

[paultyler]

Thanks for your videos. More than informative and helpful. Question, when mounting mpas on the cha mast topper. How did you install counterpoise wire or radials. TIA 73's N7YSQ

[tedhammett]

Great video. Thank you. Hardware question. I procured jaw mount but wondering if you could provide hardware specs for bolt, nut, so-239 to support direct connect of ss17? (E.g. what do I order and where?)

I can see the reason for putting the deltaloop on the mast, but what is the point of putting the mpas mil whip set or mpas light telescopic whip on top of the 20 foot mast? wouldn't the elevated feed point now require a significant set of ground radials? that seems to negate the rapid deployment capability that the mpas provides. If I recall, the elevated feed point of a vertical performs best with 1/4 wave radials. My old roof mounted 5 band trap vertical needed 2 per band, and was a several hour install to get it to perform decently. What kind of results have you seen between the ground mount configuration vs elevated feed point with the factory supplied single 25 foot radials and with multiple radials?

[gerardorincon]

Great videos! Can the Delta Tactical be used as a permanent outdoor antenna? Do the telecopying antennas would damage with rain?

[Thunderontheroad]

New ham question. When using the MPAS vertical on top of the mast do you still need the counterpoise wire???

[andrewfiertek]

That fiberglass mast from Max-Gain Systems in Heavy Duty is really nice with that machined piece from Chameleon

[Emcipio]

I love my TDL but it's difficult to use for me at home, as I'm on a second floor balcony. I get by with the 60ft wire in the trees off the balcony, but I've wondered at least once if I could get away with mounting the TDL sideways on the rail.

When making (DIY) coill to be attached to a whip. Does the gauge of wire in the coil matter? Is 8 awg better than 14 awg going around the coil?

[johnlew]

I want to make a couple resonant mobile antennas. like ham sticks. Thank you for the information you share here.

[Philip-KAKOE]

I ended up with most of the MPAS pieces, but not by design. As long as you understand that the Hybrid ununs have a bit of loss (not much), the system is very effective.

[slappomatthew]

I love their stuff. top quality, My only complaint is how blunt the spike is. driving it into hard dirt takes a LOT of effort.

[joseneves]

Many thanks for sharing your ideas / 73

Why does nobody use the CAP HAT anymore? It's the easiest way to gain an S-Unit, or 2

All his radios on the shelves are on, he's going to forget to turn them off after the video... Oh they are all in chargers!
