Antenna Wars Part One - Dipole v Speaker Wire

This is part one of a three part series on the head to head comparison of the well known "KG6HQD" speaker wire antenna vs the formerly known "K9ARV" linked dipole. This video highlights some of the features, pros, cons, and considerations of the two which will lead to a sterile field test followed by a live SOTA operation field test. Every effort will be made to neutralize these two capable antennas to be as fair as possible. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW ME: Twitter:   / kg6hqd   Instagram:   / kg6hqd   Website: https://www.kg6hqd.us --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GEAR I USE: Must Have Items: 5.4m Telescoping Fishing Pole: http://amzn.to/2phNNu6 Mapping subscription - https://www.gaiagps.com Guy Line / Cordage: http://amzn.to/2FNC2S9 Yaesu FT2DR Gear: Yaesu FT2DR Ham Radio: https://amzn.to/2D5noFP Comet SMA24 VHF/UHF Antenna: https://amzn.to/2HM7YvO FT2DR Spare Battery: https://amzn.to/2Gl8XAO Yaesu MH-85A Camera Speaker Microphone: https://amzn.to/2ToVrzP RT Systems Programming Software: https://amzn.to/2D5O7lE Ham Radio HF Gear: Elecraft KX2 & accessories: http://bit.ly/2tTYCqR Laptop Mini-Microphone: http://amzn.to/2phHVks Backpack & Hydration System: My Osprey Backpack: http://amzn.to/2FIWXdu Platapus 3 liter bladder: http://amzn.to/2FOoYfw Katadyn Hiker Microfilter: https://amzn.to/2tYiirg Footwear: Solomon Trail Runner Hiking Shoes: http://amzn.to/2DymFeC Darn Tough Socks: http://amzn.to/2GyKYvY Camera Gear: GoPro 7 Black Kit Choice: https://amzn.to/2WEk9y4 Wasabit GoPro Battery Pack: https://amzn.to/2t4Rtkm Solar Charger Battery Bank: https://amzn.to/2GlfYBv Zoom H1 Audio Recorder: http://amzn.to/2Gz1jRq ​Dead Cat Zoom for Zoom H1: http://amzn.to/2tV2kAA Nikon D750 Camera: http://amzn.to/2GBaUHB Nikon 16-35mm lens: http://amzn.to/2FNcyED Nikon 24-70mm lens: http://amzn.to/2phrkx7 Joby GorillaPod: http://amzn.to/2piayhv Drone: DJI Mavic Pro - Fly More Kit: https://amzn.to/2KT1BUw Cooking & Food: MSR Ultra Light Stove: http://amzn.to/2FNxprf Fuel Canister for Stove: http://amzn.to/2FGMEqh Titanium 450ml Cup: http://amzn.to/2pjQE53 Titanium long handle spoon: http://amzn.to/2FI8Eko Flint Fire Starter Tool: http://amzn.to/2FM8mVz Mountain House Freeze Dried Meals: http://amzn.to/2phjrac Cliff Protein Bars: https://amzn.to/2KFDBZf Clothing: My boonie hat: http://amzn.to/2HI1SYG My tan US Flag ball cap: http://amzn.to/2FW8NjH Neck Gaiter: http://amzn.to/2DxUOek Carhart Beanie: http://amzn.to/2HE2UEN Wool Gloves: http://amzn.to/2pnltXp North Face Gortex Jacket: https://amzn.to/2m3hSM5 North Face Shell: https://amzn.to/2J3BWqq North Face Down Jacket: https://amzn.to/2IYLUcP Other Items: Leki Trekking Poles: http://amzn.to/2HHf53P Therm-a-rest Sleeping Pad(small): http://amzn.to/2FPramY Gear Snake Wire Ties: http://amzn.to/2FOS4eF Eno Double Nest Hammock: https://amzn.to/2Nxqx5J Headlamp: https://amzn.to/2MRD6aU Mapping subscription - https://www.gaiagps.com Sunblock: https://amzn.to/2Nxwpfh Bug Repellent (Skin So Soft): https://amzn.to/2IYYGYG ​ ​ ​ ​ ​
