The BANDHOPPER antenna... |
 "Hello Ben, yes it's me again J.J. N6PMM,
As I mentioned before, I like to create graphics, and so here
is my version of the Bandhopper. Took your frog and added a few things. It's naturally
free for you to use if you want it."
"Thank you to J.J., great graphic" |
"In some 3 years now I have logged over 4,000

"I used my BandHopper antenna for the first time in a contest
this past weekend. The ARRLDX contest. It was pretty exciting to say the least for me. I
just purchased a new Kenwood TS-50S and had it installed in my pickup along with the
wiring for the antenna. Never had made a DX contact since purchasing the antenna in
January of 1997.
Following are my contacts:
- 21= Japan
- 9 = Argentina
- 5 = Hawaiian Island
- 2 = Russia
- 2 = Belize
- 2 = New Zealand
- 2 = Australia
- 2 = Puerto Rico
- 1 = Cayman Island
- 2 = Turks & Caicos Islands
- 1 = Alaska
|
- 1 = Barbados
- 1 = New Caledonia

- 1= San Andres
- 1= Bonaire

These contacts were made on 10-15 1nd 20
meters day time in about 4-5 hours.Use that for your advertisements."

"In 6 months time i have earned the 500 point
W.A.S. , the Clint Wise Memorial, the Nomad Awards from the 3905 Century Club 40 meter
bureau. I am well on my way to the 1000 Point Award. My greatest Dx contact to date is

"I had purchased a Bandhopper and dealt with
Ben, With outstanding results and many good signal reports using the Bandhopper. When I
damaged it by backing into a stump, I shipped it to Ben @ Bandhopper, who repaired it, as
well as, had it road tested for a week befor returning it in like new condition, and at a
reasonable price. Ater seeing a Bandhopper, you will know that it was built by a
craftsman, and after using it, you'll know it was designed by a person who knows Amateur
Radio and mobile antennas. Would also like to add that Ben proved to be most helpful
answering questions and advising various ways to mount as well as test your Bandhopper
out, etc. It is rare indeed to find a company like Bandhopper and a person as helpful as
Ben. 73's" - Ned S. Creasey, AE4ID |

best designed and most serviceable all band antennas for large commercial vehicles. Ours
