Here is the Chameleon V1 HF antenna on my car. Talking to South Carolina,1000 miles on 60 watts. I thought it might be to flexible to go mobile with but after reading the manufacturers comment (ChameleonWalker) I shall try it out and highway speeds which are 65-75 mph and see what happens.

Good video! The antenna is exactly designed to be bendy. It will not break! If you’re doing a lot of road with it install a Heavy Duty Coil Spring under it.
Did you tried to bend the antenna over your car the way that the military does? It’s made for it. You can bend it and use the antenna as NVIS. But if you do it make sure that you have an Heavy Duty Coil Spring under it. Today I had 2 nice portable DX contacts with the V1 on 20M with only 20W: JO7CVU (5363 MILES) & JR4IMV (5828 MILES).
I am wondering how does it work on 40 and 80 meter’s? I know I will be on 40 most of the time.. and once in a while on 75 and 80.. did you test the antenna out on those two bands? OK thanks….
