This video is a quick review of the Radioddity HF-010 portable HF antenna at US-9891 Blackbird Creek National Reserve in Townsend, Delaware - real contacts on 20m and 10m, real-world conditions. I'm documenting exactly what I found, good and bad, so you know how this antenna actually performs before you buy. Real contacts, real conditions, zero marketing filter.
QSOs from this activation will be my NEXT video : youtu.be/LXL10pp6_js
