Here's another great portable antenna idea from Simon Stribling (VA7BIX).
According Simon, the heart of his new antenna is cheap jewelry wire and a few basic tools. This antenna system is ideal for POTA, SOTA, and even stealthy HOA antenna installations.
The antenna package is lightweight and adaptable to many operating environments.

Ultra Portable Cheap MultiBander #hf#sota#pota#antenna#hamradio
G'day mates, I'm so excited to be getting this video out there. I think this antenna is going to be a great antenna for it's ultra portability factor - not to mention, it is resonant on 8 bands! from 70cm to 20 meters, and I am yet to test it on 40 and 80 and 160 meters hahaha. That video is coming! Wooohooo. Enjoy the show mates and thanks so much for watching. Cheers and beers, Simon VA7BIX
