About this video

Ham Radio Antenna ! In this video, I put the SPOOLTENNA to the test in a real-world rapid deployment scenario—mounted to my Ford Bronco. You'll see exactly how I set it up, how fast I can get on the air, and why I chose nylon bolts over metal for this install. Whether you're into POTA, SOTA, or just want a reliable HF antenna you can deploy in under a minute, this video breaks it all down.

🔧 Setup Includes:

  • SPOOLTENNA EFHW Antenna
  • Custom vehicle mount with nylon hardware
  • Real-time deployment demo
  • Why this setup might be perfect for your next activation

👉 Stick around to the end for quick tips that could save you time and trouble in the field!
