My Go 2 Antenna | TN07's 80-6 Meters NO TUNER NEEDED!! HOA Antenna

how would this antenna work on a tower next to my house? The tower is 17 feet high. I would run the wire across my roof about 2-3 feet off the roof. I live in a manufactured home community. My house is 54x20 and my lot extends 7-10 feet on all sides from the house.

Yea hell naw, $500 for what is essentially just a vertical with a shunt?
I could understand 200 for a decent quality antenna, but that is just straight highway robbery.

Please be cautious, the rod beater may be made of lead.

Thanks for the video

Sorry the $500.00 price tag is way out of my price range.

If you attach a wire to a lug and run it as you have i am pretty sure its a counterpoise for the antenna but i may be wrong

$500, no way.

Fascinating antenna. What was the ratio of the unun? 73

This thing costs $500! WOW!

The wire looks like a counterpoise to me, it is not connected to the threaded drive element. The shield connection surely has a connector on the transformer, which that wire seems to be connected to. If not a counterpoise, it could be an off-center fed vertical dipole with a horizontal ground plane. But I doubt it, it looks like a counterpoise.

Too expensive for me that’s a rich man’s antenna

Yea, but is it worth $500.00.

Hi Mike, I'm new on Your Channel, thanks for Your videos. Good entertainment and a lot of useful information! What kind of analyzer are You using in the video? 73 from JO40en

Wow I love the form factor of this antenna. The price? YIKES!! I didn't see that coming.
BTW--I see you ran it on 20. How is it doing on 40 and 80? These are normally my bands of choice.
Thanks Mike. (Fellow Micigander.) KM8RTY

$500 bwahahahahaaaaaaa

Looks really cool, just wish it wasn't so expensive.

nice job master

Awesome video! I’ll look into buying one of these!

super video, excellent stuff,cheers,MINT"

I deployed my Go 2 Antenna for the first time this evening. I measured SWRs 2.00 or less across all of the bands (usng a AA-230 Zoom) and had clear reception on the 40-m, 20-m and parts of the 17-m bands. Very impressive!

I would buy if it weren't 500 dollars! I want to research making my own transformer

Not an option for me. Pounding stakes into the ground or hanging wires out my window is a violation of the terms of my apartment lease, and would only lead to me becoming homeless.

I was impressed - love the design and portability. Went to the website and saw the price - doing the math on the pieces and parts, the coil is really pricey. Then I saw the power capabilities of this setup which seems very low per price point. Having made my own coil(and melted the first one) the PVC used seems to handle 100w digital with no problems so far. Wonder if I could run a horizontal wire off of it and get the same performance characteristics? Might be worth and experiment since this seems to remove the requirements for radials. Hmmmm...thanks for the review.

Thanks!

For what it is, the price of $500 is outrageous. 😯

How would you set this up on a balcony?

LOL. "It's not the counterpoise, it is part of the antenna." Counterpoise is part of the antenna. And this is a counterpoise, what else?
500$ for a coil, 5m stainlessteel whip and some wires.
It is nothing more than a simple groundplane.

Oh, very nice antenna, any idea about transformer impedance at the whip base?
What kind of battery you usually use with your 891?
Regards

That is very nice, but $500 is a lot of money.

Sells for how much???😂😂😂 If you have more money than brains.

A sucker born every minute and two to take’em!

Far better use a 49 to 1 and 40 meters of wire and put it round the yard.

The whole thing looks staged for maximum sales appeal. This is no better than an end fed or mobile set up. With 50’ of RG-58, you are going to have some substantial power losses. RG-8x is the minimum coax you want for HF at 50’. LMR 240 is preferable. “If it sounds to be too good to be true, it probably is.” You would be much better off with a regular vertical, end-fed wire, or G5RV Jr.

Does it have a good swr on 11m ?

So…. I have this antenna and it is ok, but I am wondering if I were to install it about 13 feet above the ground with the radiating wire sloping down at an angle, how would that impact its performance?

Yep, HOA would be all over that. ADD- $499.95 on their website ?? !! Do they think hams are made out of money ? Is there gold in that antenna ?

Great video. I wanted to try one of these since I am in a HOA. However, once I saw the price, No way.

This antenna will be 12db down in transmit from a resonate antenna. Then you have to add tuner loss. It's a no brainer...PASS.

My God what is up with the prices on this stuff??

Nice solution, but $500 is kind of steep if you ask me, $200 maybe.

Kinda cool... but that price.. Geez. Not worth it.

Get i 1' piece of schedule 40 threaded pipe, only one end need be threaded. Screw a cap on iy. Now you have a great rod banging device. EZ!

What was the app that you used on your phone.

I would love to get one but that price is out of my price line.

Man that honestly looks real great for portable work. Leave one in a camper. Park for the night, or day, or wherever. Hammer your stakes down, run coax, and enjoy the sounds of DX amid the feel of nature.

Hi my name is Andy I live in Northern Ireland my call sign is Mi6wof how could I get one of those antennas???

I know of a guy in you're area a guy called Jake operating the 11mt band.

I feel for the genuine ladies named Karen. Those "Karens" have made it hard for them.

Very impressed with the antenna analyzer reading across the bands. Very amazed.
