  • Great antenna for camping, hiking etc

    Well built collapsible antenna for HF, better efficiency than little whips, reasonable price. Can be collapsed to 27” and fits medium sized backpacks or tripod bags and then quickly mounted on camera tripod, balcony rail or something like that and tuned for 20 m without coil, or used with tuner and/or coils on 40+ m bands. Great choice for situations when you can’t set a dipole.

  • If you get a perfect item, it wll be fine

    Mine arrived in the UK from Gigaparts USA. Pefectly packaged and boxed, no complaints. However, when trying to extend the antenna to it's full length, 2 of the rods were totally stuck and would not budge. Tried pulling them apart with pliers etc, but couldn't do it. Finally put some lubricating oil on all the joints, and eventually managed to grip the stuck rods with pliers, and using force, managed to pull them out. I hope I haven't damaged the antenna. Not had the chance to test it out yet to ensure it works ok.

  • Excellent performance and value

    I love this portable vertical antenna. I bought a Chameleon Micro base unit but couldn't afford the Mil whip and extension (approx. $235) for a 17' vertical so got this MFJ unit instead. The Chameleon gets good reviews too, but the MFJ whip at $63 is just what I looking for, and collapsed is only 27" long!

  • Love the antenna

    Love this antenna combined with my WolfRiver coil. Tunes up 80-10 on the front bumper of my 4X4, almost all less than 2.0 swr. Good build quality, should last.

  • long antenna... nice

    THis whip is well made, and works very well with loading coils and transmatch units like the Alpha Moto.
