Come join Chuck, K0ITP, and Chuck, WG5X, as they assemble and tune their DX Commander HF antennas at the Clover Building at the Boulder County Fairgrounds this Saturday, 8/12/2023, starting at 9am.

The DX Commander (https://dxcommander.com/) is a multi-band vertical antenna system that uses the same technique as a fan dipole (https://www.onallbands.com/ham-radio-101-what-is-a-fan-dipole-antenna/) manufactured in England. It is a well-known antenna (and manufacturer) that has a very good reputation in the amateur community (and on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@m0mcx)

There are a few different models, but the base model (DX Commander Classic) supports 40m through 2 meters.

Chuck (WG5X) has a still-in-box antenna that he’s going to put together and tune, so you can experience the whole process right from the start.

There will almost certainly be antenna analyzers and antenna tuning involved, and promises to be quite an interesting activity!

Hope to see you there (even if your name isn’t Chuck)!
