Multi-Band Expedition System based on the Expedition / SOTA / Portable Travel pole and up to 4-wire elements to give you any number of bands you wish. This is the 2022 spec with NEW screw base and stronger components.

See Unified user guide here: https://www.m0mcx.co.uk/dx-commander-user-guides/

new-expedition-driven-plate

Made in aluminium 5251 with holes for SO239 flying lead connection and a “spare” hole for further experiments, say 80m Inverted or short 10m element.

NOTE! The kit includes a custom reel of 100m DX10 flexible black 22-core antenna wire, tested to 1600W for 65 seconds key down. So you can make exactly same as I did.

Note: 80m *will* work on this system. Make up an element 19m long and come off at the 5m point, under the HCL Clamp via a small section of shock-cord. Go across to a tree or a bush or something to create an Inverted L. Yes, the pole is a little bendy but it will work.

New Snap-in element holes

New Snap-in element holes

NEW with snap-in element holes. Up to 6-elements catered for.

This is almost the same as the regular All-Band Vertical “Classic” that created DX Commander in the first place, but the pole is only 65 cms long in it’s compact form to allow ease of travel / back-pack etc. There are many more sections to create the whole 31 feet (or so) but main section is the same physical external diameter as the “Classic” this means that eash section has a lower wall-thickness. Just beware of this. It is designed for occassional / portable use.

You might want to use four three elements for:

  • 40m (and 15m)
  • 30m
  • 20m
  • 10m

Or maybe

  • 40m (and 15m)
  • 20m
  • 17m
  • 10m

Or perhaps

  • 10m (up the side)
