This video is about possibly the first Ham Radio set-up. I suggest it could be the ICOM IC-7300 transceiver and the W3DZZ antenna! It's a trapped dipole but capable for the multi-band work with very intriguing use of the trap coils and capacitors. In this video I also test the limits of the IC-7300 transceiver's in-built antenna tuner.. Will it make it tuning the trapped dipole on other than 80, 40 and 15 meter bands? There is an answer in the video and also a clue on possible modification of the transceiver! Stay tuned by subscribing , there is something new to come out soon on the channel! Please leave your comment below, what is your experience with the W3DZZ antenna, or any other trap antennas? I'm very curious! 73! Linas LY2H
