Another two cents worth ...

A few years ago there was a dipole advertised in QST and other places that
claimed to be "broadband with a very low SWR on all bands".  Turns out an
XRAY of the junction box / center insulator revealed a resistor (50 ohms?)
in parallel with the coax connector and the dipole. (;-)

73!

Excuse me for being ignorant...
Cut and paste from the Chameleon web page "antenna base has an integral
broadband impedance matching network allowing broadband antenna tuning.
An external antenna tuner is required to provide a low VSWR."

I see very little difference between this antenna, a PAR EFHW or any other
EFHW that uses an impedance matching unit.

Just my 2 cents worth

Flame suit is ON.!!

Guido,

You're right! This is more than incorrect. Here is more YouTube of the
antenna in action:

The right website is http://chameleonantenna.com/

For real information about the product people can go, read and ask questions
to their hundreds of customers on their forum:
