DX Commander Classic Vs. Alpha Antenna’s Hextenna.Both 5 Star Rated on Eham. How’d the test go?

Find out at the first QSO at 21:42 into the show BUT only ONE QSO was made. Signal reports came in from people watching the show live. But is that “The Facts?”

No.

Both antennas are rated so high because of their strengths in performance, quality and construction.

Each Antenna has its advantages as I’ll describe in the video.

Hear the QSO made at 21:42 into the show. You’ll also see signal reports on screen from people who are watching the show live.

Thanks to Joe Kelley, K1SAZ, For allowing me to do this test

Sorry to Roderick Hunt, out of Los Angeles, CA. I could make out his callsign on replay, but I couldn’t pick it up live on the show my friend. His callsign is KG6JNS. We were Just a little too close on 20 m to make the call at that point due to propagation conditions.
