EZ Stinger vertical antenna

Well designed and made. Easy to extend and clamp each section in place. Easy to set length for desired band.

Smooth operation, wish the locking mechanism were metal

I’ve made 14 POTA activations with the Amratek Products antenna system. It’s a fantastic system.

These are some of the things things I really like: Lightweight aluminum antenna that is easy to deploy and tune (I didn’t want a stainless steel telescoping antenna); tripod deploys and breaks down easily, and accepts different leg lengths that allows for deploying on sloped ground; the ends of the tripod legs are designed to accept ground stakes for secure mounting – clever!; the tripod hub has tabs that make it easy for me to directly clamp ground-plane screens to (they also have holes that accept clip leads and radials, but I attach the screens directly); low loss copper loading/matching coils that are really easy to tune.

I really, really like this overall antenna design. It is clever and well thought out. I actually bought several for multiple QTHs. I look forward to seeing what other products the company puts out.
