The Hustler HF mobile/portable antenna offers a unique way of creating a multi-band operation on this centre-loaded whip. In this video, I’m testing how this bouquet of three resonators of choice is working together on one mast. I was surprised by the performance of this antenna when I easily made a contact into Indonesia and Taiwan operating leisurely FT8 from the camping ground.
Disclaimer:
I am using the Hustler mobile antenna, in any configuration, exclusively as a portable, not mobile, antenna, even if it is fixed to my vehicle. If you going to use this antenna as a really mobile antenna, please make sure you have it fixed and fastened accordingly to your car in order to ensure the necessary safety requirements, this is your responsibility.
Here is the link to my other video testing this same antenna as a mono-band whip on 80M band:
