An evening spent with the new SlideWinder DX coil antenna | amateur radio

Описание: Recorded 29th October 2020

I was very pleased to be contacted by David and Rob of M1ECC antennas and asked if I would do a test of the new SlideWinder DX antenna they have just released. I was not paid for this, not even a bag of haribos in the shipping box but I have my own supply, so I will happily review the product voluntarily and impartially.

This test is not scientific nor any robust comparison to other coils but rather my opinions after using the various coils from the same portable location in similar conditions.

My thoughts are, I hope to keep the coil, the design and build quality seem very good, the adjustment (tuning) ring was easy to adjust in adverse conditions, making it easy to tune it. The resonance is wider than the other coils, meaning I could have a low SWR from the data area of the 20m band up to the voice area without having to re tune.

I'm looking forward to trying out the coil further, as with the Wolf River Coil which was recently donated to the channel, maybe I could make a dipole out of the two?
