I received the Packtenna 20 Meter End-Fed Half-Wave antenna recently. The end of the antenna opposite the feed line has a link to add an extender for 40 meters. Rather than purchasing that, I just linked up to the end with more wire to extend it to 40 meters. After tuning it up on 40 meters I added a loading coil to bring the other three bands into resonance (20,15, and 10). Find out more about this loading coil in K6ARK’s antenna instructions on page 10, found here: [ Ссылка ]

This was a SOTA/POTA activation. In addition to using the Packtenna EFHW on HF I also used the Packtenna TrekMount. I operated the TrekMount on 2 meters CW, SSB, and FM. I also used the SotaBeams 2 meter bandpass filter because of the commercial antennas on the summit.
