N9SAB 80-6m off-center-fed dipole (OCFD) antenna.

Premiered on 16 Jan 2024

On January 7, 2024, I did a Parks on the Air (POTA) activation in the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor (K-6532) with the N9SAB 80-6m off-center-fed dipole (OCFD) antenna. This is the QRP version, which is recommended for a maximum of 50W SSB, 30W CW, and 20W digital. I used the ICOM 7300 and was able to make contacts on 10 bands. I operated SSB, FT8 and RTTY, since this was during the ARRL RTTY Roundup contest. This video was not sponsored and I am not an affiliate. All equipment used was purchased by myself. This antenna and more from Tim N9SAB are available for purchase at the links below:
