Key Specifications

🧰 What’s Included

Everything in one complete kit:

• Telescopic 17′ 9″ vertical element
• Two 18′ radials + stakes
• Ground spike
• Guying kit (ring + ropes + stakes)
• Top‑of‑mast mount (fits up to 1″ OD mast)
• Carry bag
• User guide

Setup and Operation

Use the radials on the ground or raise/tune counterpoise elements to resonant length. The page describes roll-adjusting the wire or cutting for resonance.

🔧 Fast Deployment and Easy Tuning

Tune the counterpoise your way:

• Roll‑adjust to length using the included Velcro strap
• Or cut to resonance using optional spade connectors

This antenna is designed for operators who want fast, intuitive tuning without dragging a full toolbox into the field.

⚡ Analysis

Your Go‑Anywhere HF/VHF/UHF Antenna for POTA, SOTA & Emergency Comms

🌲 The Ultimate Portable Antenna for Operators Who Refuse to Compromise

Whether you’re activating a park, deploying in the field, or preparing for emergency communications, the POTA Performer delivers true multiband performance in a rugged, ultra‑portable package.

Covering 2–20 meters + 220 + 440 MHz, this 9-band antenna is engineered for operators who want maximum capability with minimum setup time.
No gimmicks. No inflated gain claims. Just real‑world performance backed by physics.

🎯 Why Operators Choose the POTA Performer (VertiTenna)

✔ True 7‑Band Coverage

Operate HF, VHF, and UHF from a single compact system:

• 2m, 6m, 10m, 12m, 15m, 17m, 20m
• Plus 220 MHz & 440 MHz for full‑spectrum versatility

✔ Field‑Ready in Minutes

✔ High Power Handling

Run it confidently with:

• 1200W PEP SSB
• 600W CW
• 300W digital
  This antenna is built for power and QRP.

✔ Flexible Deployment Options

Use it as a:

• A ground‑mounted vertical
• A mast‑mounted portable vertical
• A vertical on the optional Tripod with raised counterpoise system
  • Just slide the Spike into the Adapter Hole on the top or the tripod

🚀 Performance You Can Trust

The POTA Performer is engineered for real‑world conditions, not idealized simulations.
Operators consistently report:

• Low SWR across all supported bands
• Strong DX and NVIS performance
• Reliable contacts even in compromised locations
• Excellent durability in field environments
• EmComm reliability even at low power levels

🧭 Radials vs Counterpoise

1. The included Radials can be laid on the ground for easiest deployment and operation, or
2. The included Counterpoise can be raised and deployed at resonant length by cutting it for resonance.
   • A section of PVC pipe like the one Available by CLICKING HERE can be used to raise the included Mounting Hardware.
   • The included Metal Spike can then be Zip Tied at the base of the PVC pipe for support.

🧩 Tuning the Counterpoise

There are two methods for tuning the Counterpoise for resonance.

1. Achieve the resonant length of the raised Counterpoise by rolling up or out the wire element, which can be secured with the included VELCO strap.
2. Alternatively, spade connectors that are Available by CLICKING HERE can be used at the connection points after you cut the wire elements to resonant length for your POTA Performer.

💰 Great Value

**This antenna delivers exceptional value by combining true 7‑band HF/VHF/UHF coverage with rugged, field‑ready construction at a price far below competing multiband portable systems. You’re getting a complete, high‑power, rapid‑deploy kit that performs like gear costing twice as much—making it one of the smartest investments a portable operator can make.
