Summer is the time when the desire for portable radio grows. In a recent report on our blog, Marco, DD6FM, shares his experiences with the JPC-7 antenna, which he tested extensively in summer weather.

The JPC-7 antenna is a shortened, rigid portable dipole and allows use on the 40m to 6m bands with a transmit power of up to 100W. A particularly practical feature is that the antenna measures only about 35 cm when disassembled and weighs only 1.8 kg - ideal for portable use. In his report, Marco shows how he sets up the antenna quickly and easily and gives valuable tips on fine-tuning. In the process, he reports on his exciting QSOs during a Castle-on-the-Air excursion.

The JPC-7 antenna is versatile and offers the possibility to achieve amazingly long ranges with low power. Whether you're a radio amateur enjoying your holiday on the farm or in the vineyards, this antenna is an ideal companion for your portable activities.
