Rybakov 806 in Action

This is my first attempt in using the Rybakov 806 antenna.

I was able to TX for 3000km only using 5 watts in the 40M band and a report of 5/5!

I was very happy with the overall performance of this antenna: multiband from 40 to 6 meters band, low SWR.

If I used a longer radial [the existing was only around 8 meters] like 10 to 12 meters the antenna will work on the 80M band.

I had the help of a LDG AT-100Pro and the internal tuner of my TS-480SAT.

I had very good reports, low noise and great for DX!
