[HQRP] Fwd: [AQRP] New Portable Antenna for the FT-817

[Ed Manuel (N5EM)]

OK - received this today.  We can talk about it tomorrow morning at the QRP 
Club Meeting.

I have my doubts about an antenna named after a mayonaise :-)

Does it need refridgeration?

>The Miracle Antenna Company is pleased to announce the release of The
>Miracle Whip for the FT-817.
>
>The Miracle Whip is an all-band (1.8 to 450 mhz) 50-inch whip antenna
>with integrated tuner for transmitting and receiving that mounts
>directly on the FT-817.  It operates with a typical SWR of 2:1 or
>better across this entire range, and may be operated without a ground.
>
>  The Miracle Whip exhibits remarkable DX performance for a 50-inch
>whip on the FT-817 (and should do just as well on any similar rig). We
>have consistently worked DX stations on SSB under good conditions in
>our tests; we are confident there is no other antenna its size on the
>market that will perform as well or better.  In fact we believe there
>is no other antenna like it on the market, period.
>
>The Miracle Whip uses a uniquely designed C-VAT - a Continuously
>Variable Autotransformer -  to match the whip to the 50-ohm output of
>the radio. Tune-up may be accomplished simply by peaking the one-knob
>tuning dial for maximim signal strength on receive - the antenna is
>then tuned for transmitting.
>
>The July issue of QST magazine will contain an article by our chief
>designer, Robert Victor VA2 ERY, on building a Miracle Whip yourself.
>  We have engineered an electrically similar, but mechanically
>different, high-quality precision-mechanism version of this antenna
>built to commercial standards to offer to our clients.
>
>The Miracle Whip will retail for $109.95, but may be ordered for a
>limited time via our website for $79.95. Groups members are invited to
>visit www.miracleantenna.com to review more information on the Miracle
>Whip and our other fine products.
