9 meters wire on a fishing rod and the SGC-211 antenna coupler. Works very well on 80, 40, 20 and 10 meters. We have been testing the setup on the beach at Scheveningen and we made QSO’s on 40m with less then 5 watts.

    I have made a 9m fishing pole antenna the same. I use it at ground level with a earth rod and a mfj atu. I can tune it from 160m, tone deaf, to 10m. it works ok on 30m 40m, I nearly worked Brazil on 20m but the Wildlife was too crazy as they kept calling over me, all this was on psk31. I will have to wait until 10 is open to see how its doing. No prolems working europe. If your stuck for space its worth ago. my 8m tele pole was £11. earth rod was £5. 9m wire was £3. 73’s David
