“In this video I compare three antennas to see which one, if any, out performs the others. I will be comparing the Signal Stick from Signal Stuff, Diamond SRH770S and the Abbree “Tactical” Antenna. I travel 1/2 mile, 1mile, 2 miles and 5 miles from my home. I also have a QSO with 2 others in the area. The Radios used were the Wouxun KG-UV8E for receive, and I transmitted on the Yaesu FT-70.”
