- HOW I POTA
Why do I Love and use Ham sticks?
Because they have gotten me thousands of POTA contacts and huge PILE UPS!
The secret is to properly tune them. In this video I will show how I came up with a simple accessory that you can build at home to get your sticks working like a dream.

This antenna might not be log enough for some bands. Stacking a stud/coupling nut will gain you some length.

The telescoping whip is an awesome idea. I love it.
When I pota with hamsticks, I use a manual tuner inline - it's an old MFJ box with 3 knobs that I bought off an old guy at a hamfest for $20. I leave the hamstick at the factory length, screw it together, and screw it into the mag mount. I dial the tuner to where the radio gives me the best swr, and let it rip. I can usually slam the swr down to 1:1, or really close. The nice thing with the manual tuner is that there is no additional draw on my battery. I've made thousands of contacts with this method.
Hey thanks for watching. I also have a nice little manual tuner sitting on the bench that I might do a test on. 73’s for now and hope to chat on the air.
Telescopic whip to find tuning length...great idea! Good video...73!
Hey thanks! Hope this makes your ham stick tuning easier.
Using the telescopic whip was mindblowingly simple but something I have never thought of. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and the great feedback, I appreciate it.
DUDE! What a great idea! Brilliant Wes. Another excellent product from The Sask-Innovator! 👍📻⚡Tom
The original concept for this whip completely failed but produced an even better result. 🍻🤙🏻
Thanks for sharing.. never thought of using a collapsible whip antenna.. interesting.. thx for the demo.. 73, k0klb
I have lots of ideas up in the noggin, need to get them out before they are gone😁. Again thanks for watching Kevin.
Wes buddy!!! Sensational idea!! 🎉🍻👍awesome video buddy
Thanks Simon! It’s been a blast coming up with new stuff.
I was thinking of Ham Sticks for when I start to POTA. Great tips.
You won’t regret it.
Here’s a tip- the MFJ 60” adjustable stainless steel whip comes with a 3/8” stud built in and will screw right on the top of the Shark Ham Stick.
Thanks for the tip!
Awesome! I’m looking forward to more on this.
Thanks Mike. I just ordered a 50” collapsible HT Cb antenna with a BNC connector. I’ll make a video on it.
Great idea! Thank you for sharing. W7RTA
And this technique is why you enjoy the great signals from the POTA Jeep! Pota On my friend. 🤙🏻
Great idea. I could never get my 10 meter hamstick long enough to tune below 29.000.
Thanks. Some bands it’s not needed but it’s very useful on 75/80 40 and like you said 10m when operating up into the FM section. .
Brilliant ! 73 de va3mac
Thanks. This is going into my pata sack. 💯
