After reading a bit about the “famous” Gawant antenna, which is very popular in Japan, I could not resist trying it out. N6ARA has put together a nice kit, which can be constructed in an hour. I tried it out today with SFI 110 and K4, not really ideal conditions, calling CQ for 5 minutes on each band. These were the results:
No RBN results for 40m, although I was heard in Slovenia, but not enough to make the SOTA contact. It’s a very lightweight, small and quick setup that does 4 bands with the QMX - for such a small whip quite OK.
