Screwdriver antenna basic

BigIR assembly

BigIR MK III Vertical with 80 meter coil
The antenna does well on all bands including 60 meters. The SWR is low enough that I don't need to use the antenna tuner

I bought this antenna used, but in new condition, at the moment I'm using 40 radials 11 meters long
