These are excellent and well worth the $. Very nicely made and sturdy
enough to drive into the ground. Make sure you get the foam rings matched
to your mast. This ring surrounds the mast and makes a snug fit into the
mount

I have had good luck with the Earthworm ground mount for the SD20 poles:

These can provide the support for the center of my favorite portable
antenna

Some years ago I made a 20M vertical out of a collapsible 16' (4.9M) fishing
pole. I

I agree about verticals elevated off the ground with raised radials.
Could you describe your phasing method, was it passive, ie a reflector?
Did you use fishing poles to hold up your wires?

Your analysis agrees with my experience, Eric.
The dipole arranged with one leg vertical and one leg horizontal can be very
good for something like field day in which you want to work stations at all
distances from "just down the street" to DX. That horizontal leg will
produce very high angle rad

That would be very inaccurate. HF vertical antennas for field use will almost
*never* have a proper and effective ground system. Add to that the losses

I agree that random wires and fishing poles are as good as most
antennas in the field but a PAC12, or homebrew version of the same,
needs no other supports and is compact and light. It's an ideal beach
antenna, where salt water helps minimise ground losses, and I've had
plenty of transatlan
There are no advantages in using commercial antennas out portable. A
fishing pole for support and a lightweight dipole, doublet, end fed wire
or ground plane will work better than most other simple antennas and the
cost is minimal. The K1 built-in ATU has a fairly limited tuning range
and will
air the better if
you're limited to something less than 1/2 wavelength.

Seems like there are two ways to go. Buddistick vs.
PAC12or random wire with Elecraft T1. Thanks for all
your help in advance. This reflector is a fantastic resource.
