2nd OCF Antenna!
This is my 2nd KI4L OCF antenna. The first one I sold to my friend Dave, KC4TIQ. We BOTH loves them! I will add a link to my Rumble channel on our set up. Pay attention to the video in which Dave has his antenna analyzer connected to the antenna! https://rumble.com/v15lmal-ocf-antenna-install.html
OCF Antenna
Antenna is doing a great job and I'm receiving very good reports. I find it is a good quality built antenna and have had no problems putting a kilowatt into it. I like it and hope it serves me for many years.
160-6m OCF Dipole
If you have a decent size yard with some trees or supports, this is a great antenna that will resonate well on all bands but 15 and 30. Get that balun as high up as you can get it, and go! This is my everyday “meat and potatoes” antenna that I use on my DX101MP and an Acom 700S. Built tough, it has survived several WV winters. Chris makes great antennas!
OCF antenna
This is my second of the same model. It provides excellent service in both North Carolina and New Mexico. I am pleased to have the antenna.
Windam 7 band ofc
Just worked the WWDX after installing this antenna about 50' up in clear air between 2 redwood trees. I run a KPA1500 amp with an internal tuner and there was not one band it would not tune to 1.3 or less. I contacted every continent but Antarctica pushing around 8-900 watts with an occasional boost to 1000 to get through some heavy pile-ups. I already ordered a second one for my remote location! Awesome unit. So many SAY they can do what this one actually does.
OCF Windom Dipole Antenna Poly-Stealth
1st contact, 20M, JH7MQD Japan, no tuner, 400W @30ft followed by Europe and S. America. Outstanding!, thanks;
Works so well I bought a 2nd one
I can't say enough about how much I enjoy the 7 Band OCF antenna first one works so well I bought a 2nd thank you for such an AMAZING PRODUCT - NE5C Jerry Johnson
OCF 7 band
I wanted to work with FT8 and other digital modes which are on the lower end of the bands. The SWR was higher than I wanted, and Chris took the time to work with me to get the antenna tuned for the lower frequencies. Greatly appreciated! :-)
OCF 8 band Poly-Stealth Windom antenna
Purchased my 2nd, 8 band antenna, so I could put one up at my brothers place, for when I visit. I have it diagonally on my property, to fit on the lot. Nice having multi band access, and made some great DX contacts, with just 100W.. I wouldn’t have purchased 2nd one, if 1st didn’t work out well. If you can manage the length, I think you will be happy.
8 band ocf dipole flex weave
Able to get balun up about 50 ft, and ends about 20 ft. Able to make some great contacts. Good swr on 160, 80, 40, and 20. Don’t do much on the other 4 bands, but will check it out. Great receive and transmit. Contacts surprised I was getting through on 100 watts.
Dipole Antenna
Works great! Thanks for the fast service.
Rreview of the antennas I purchased and receive only 3 days ago.
I have no comments. I have opened the box the antennas came in and have done no more with them. If I remember to do so , I will write something after the antennas are installed and used on the air. I expect that to be before winter sets in.
