DX Commander All Band Vertical HF Antenna Build & Review
Buy the DX Commander from DX Engineering (USA) 👉 https://dxengineering.pxf.io/o4Mren (affiliate) The DX Commander is an All Band Vertical HF Antenna that covers 9 bands from 80m through to 6m. It is an economical and efficient way of getting on every HF band easily with a nice compact vertical antenna. The antenna is basically a fan dipole, but rather than horizontal, it is vertical quarter wave elements in parallel on a common driven element base with short ground radials. Of particular interest in this design is the fold over on the 40m element, which acts as a 5/8th on 15m. The antenna is a breeze to put together and in this video I show my build and review from Callum M0MCX - the DX Commander.
