If you enjoy portable operations such as POTA and SOTA, you may find this unusual antennna worth your time.
In this video from Rich (K0PIR), we see how two joined metal "Slinky" toys can produce some excellent field results. Rich uses a UnUn balun to connect the two slinkys together.
By carefully adjusting the length of these "toys", Rich is able to contact some excellent DX on several amateur radio bands.
Your next antenna may be a near as your children's play room.

Good day! Join K0PIR and MR B as they travel to Alabama.
In this video Fort Crowder conservation area and I operate some on my Icom 7300 using the new to me slinky antenna. Mr B takes me on a walk through the trail system right next to our camp.

I'm an Amateur Radio enthusiast. I love the hobby and experimenting with radios, antennas and software. I have a lot of fun. On my YouTube channel I upload videos mostly on the Icom 7300 and Icom 7610 as well as Ham Radio software programs. I hope to inspire people to get involved in Amateur Radio.
