Princeton 36’ QRP


News / Wednesday, June 5th, 2019

W0NEU and KEOAEP tested a Princeton 36’ QRP end-fed spirally wound on a B&M 20 foot collapsible carbon fiber crappie pole ($22.00 on Amazon) and mounted to flag pole hitch mount.   We found it to be resonant on 10, 20, 40M under 1.7 to one.  First contact on 40m Omaha to Los Angeles.  Antenna will be demonstrated at SWIARC Field Day as an option for POTA and restricted space operation.  Entire rig weighs less than 2 pounds, not including the 50 foot length of coax which serves as counterpoise.
