  • How long does it take a review to get posed? I just wrote one but it is not yet viewable. Does the reviews editor have to approve the content before it is available for everyone to see?
  • Usually about half a day or so.
  • Carl:
    I have placed reviews on eham.net for the V1 + Hybrid + MIL Whip.  I thought I'd also share the results of this combination recently on 10M band.

    Garnet Ryder, VE7GNR

    Icom 703 Plus (HF+6M 10W QRP transceiver)
    Chameleon V1L base + MIL Whip + Hybrid base + 2 counterpoises/radials mounted on top of a 5ft aluminum pole.

    I live in a condo on the top floor (4th floor) with a rooftop deck.  HOA rules prevent me from putting up a permanent antenna.  I have the coax, mount & antenna on a 5ft painter's pole.  When I want to use the antenna I simply connect the V1L base & MIL whip to the pole mount and clip into brackets on my deck for the evening/afternoon.

    My Chameleon antenna operates as an elevated vertical.  Radials are hanging over slanted roof & over the edge to hang.  I'd like to have more radials, but can't because I don't have rooftop access or permission. 

    Weekend of 20-21 Oct 2012 on 10M SSB with 10W.
    Spoke from Vancouver, BC, Canada to Chicago OH, St. Louis MO, Kansas City KS & Paris TX.
    Signals were 59, loud & clear.

    The best feature is that I don't have to do anything at the antenna when switching bands.  I simply change bands on my radio & adjust the antenna tuner for the band.

    I also love how portable this antenna is because it allows me to take to park in the summer, or hiking/camping, or setup at a friend's house during a contest.

  • Garnet,

    good for you!

    What is the noise level in general on 20M, 40M and 80M?

    Carl
  • Carl:
    I didn't try 80M, but 20M & 40M seemed reasonable.  I have a lot of noise due to the powerlines & transformer on a pole immediately in front of my house at approximately the 3rd floor of the building.  So I'm up a little aboe the wires, but not by much.
    Cheers,
    Garnet
