Last week I get my ICOM 705. I check my whip on it because of the plastik case. It is working great! If you want a whip, just write me qrp.lifestyle [at] gmail.com
Guten Tag David. Nice to see another great video. What a brilliant combination the ICOM 705 and your homebrew antenna. I think you will have a lot of fun with this station. Looking forward to more videos. Alles gute aus England.
Gratz on the 705. Got mine about 2 years back now. Expensive, but one hell of a radio. Got it for pota specifically as apartment life ... well not good for nornal HF operations. I sincerely hope you have a lot of fun working that radio, as its treated me well. 73 de kd9tea
Hi David, congratulations on your 705! I got a mint used one about 3 months ago. Were all those contacts on 20m and 15m? I have your whip but I confess I haven’t used it in action yet. I have build the higher band coil need to finish the other. I have set a goal for myself to do a sota activation qrp walkie talkie style ax1 or similar. You should definitely do some Sota with your qrp walkie talkie setup. Enjoy! 73 Steve MW0SAW ps nice to see you back vlogging.
Got it in today. Mounted 20m Whip on ICOM 705 and went to front yard. FIRST CALL, I worked WB4DKU in Florida (700 miles - not bad!), received RST 56! It’s a little wobbly, but performs great! I am curious about the metal tab below the coil - with a hole drilled in it? 73, David, WR4N
David, I just ordered your antenna to use with my ICOM 705. I’m super excited! QUESTION: For times when I want optimal performance, would connecting a counterpoise wire to the 705 mic hanger screw work okay???
Prinzipiell schon cool, aber an einem Tag wo Contest ist , ist es auch keine große Kunst. Wenn die fetten Player am Start sind, wird man auch mit einem feuchten Schnürsenkel gehört. Viel interessanter wäre eine Aktivierung damit zu machen
Impressive setup. As the radio is plastic, perhaps some kind of bracket to support the antenna might be a good idea. Many thanks for the video.
Good to see you back in Business again, David. 💯👌

This is an optional hole for a counterpoise or to mount it on a tripod

You can test it but check swr
does this count as a HT?
What kind of antenna is that?
You could add a trailing earth wire to the earth tab on the radio. G7VFY
It is not needed
