[SJDXA] Wire Antenna/OCF Piece Parts

[Steve Strauss]

"All-in-One" --> the OCF may be a very nice choice for you then, Joe. I have personally used the Balun from these guys (5KW version) and the antenna became very convenient for me. What I really liked was that it let me work both SSB and CW on 80m- so broadbanded on 80. 40m is decent- not great- but worked many many many VK, ZL, JA, FK, 3D2 in the morning with that antenna on 40m. The only band you need to be cautious on is 15m- which is NOT supported. Bands supported 80, 40, 20, 17, 12, 10, 6 (no 30, no 15). At least will get you on the air!
Again- please ask questions if/whenyou run into them- alot of experience here on this reflector that are willing to help out if we can!

 Steve, thanks for the info. I will definitely look into this. If anyone has any more input please don’t hesitate to share. I may not be able to keep up with the level of knowledge that you all carry but I am more than willing to try to learn more about antennas. I am a tinkerer by nature. I work with my hands for a living. Building antennas is part of what drew me to the hobby. But trees, neighbors, and a wife are some huge obstacles to work around. Hihi. So I’m trying to find something stealthy and “all in one”. I keep coming back to the OCF. But any input anyone would like to share, I am willing to listen and learn. If you want to email me directly : W2AAZ.Joe at gmail.com

Really wish he would partner with us so we could sell the product for him at GigaParts. Don't think he ever got back with Purchasing on a possible deal.
Distribution Center is up and operational to provide allot more than we did prior. 
Oh..IC-705 is an amazing unit, in the Shack right now and making videos for the release in the fall.

SJDXA,Nice to see everyone last evening (virtually!). during the conversation(s) one of the questions asked was relative to OCFs, etc. Below is a link to a local guy in Allentown, PA. that makes (and ships out) good stuff at reasonable pricing for the OCF application. Can also purchase baluns and UNUNs stand-alone and integrate them into your own designs, if that's the path you want to take (preferred by me).
