    Very nice rugged portable antenna set up Chris. I’m impressed with the rugged case, the rugged tripod, and mast. And you are smart guying the set up. Overall one of the best portable antenna systems I’ve seen. Thanks for your video. 73 from Canada

    I need to add that there was no wind, only a light breeze, when I shot the video. I had set the antenna up in high winds about a week earlier. I am confident that this will withstand at least 40mph winds, probably a lot more. I will have to put it to the test the next time we have high winds. If anyone hears about someone being struck by lightning in Michigan in the near future, you know what happened!

    See the updated video description for the links. YouTube wouldn’t let me post them in the comment box.

    This actually helped me understand microstrip patch antennas and uniplaner electromagnetic bandgap structures!
