About this video

Did I accidentally (or intentionally) create the most portable multiband vertical to date?
In this video, I take the classic DX Commander concept and strip it down to the essentials. BARE BONES, BABY.... no mast required. This build uses ΒΌ-wave telescopic whips, but you can still run hamsticks, wires, or other radiators depending on your setup.

This is Part 1 of the series, and I walk you through the idea, the build, and the real-world performance.
➑️ The plates are NOT available yet. I’m still refining everything. Part 2 coming soon.... standby.
