In this video, I’m taking the @SPOOLTENNA out to the park for a real-world POTA activation test! This unique 40m-10m End Fed Half Wave (EFHW) antenna system features a built-in spooling mechanism designed to make setup and teardown a breeze.
I’ll walk you through the unboxing, show you how I deploy it using the Gigaparts POTA 33 mast, and see how it performs on the air with my Yaesu FTDX10. We even managed a great DX contact all the way to Colombia!
