I get to meet Cal and get a tour of the farm where he designs and builds the range of antennas.
We spent a few hours chatting about ham radio, life as a business owner and a little bit of science.
Cal has very kindly given me a DX Commander expedition version to field test which I am very grateful. Keep an eye out for build videos and field testing.
The DX Commander antennas are a rapid deployment antenna that can be built by the user to work across many ham bands by using a fan dipole concept. They are used both from radio hobbyists right through to serious expedition DX radio operators.
Google search DX Commander!
