    At least watch the video before you make assumptions.

    To those in the peanut gallery, what I don't think Callum would approve of is speaking on his behalf. Callum is a big boy and can speak to what he approves and does not approve. He knows how to contact Sean if he has any issues. Callum does not strike me as being the shy type. Sean, thank you for doing this video. I shows what may or may not be possible for the cost. In the end you have probably sent Callum additional business for the folks that were sitting on the fence debating whether to try building one themselves.

    Frankly,

    I for one do not like your attempt to marginalize me and others by crafting descriptions of folks you disagree with as a 'peanut gallery'. I am not on 'Howdy Doody' and am 60 years past qualifying for said audience seating.

    You can speculate all you want how the (false) characterization/naming of a home made antenna should be named the same as an extant product, but the fact is we have compelling evidence in the past that usurping a product name PUTS THE PIONEER OUT OF BUSINESS. A word: 'HEXBEAM'.

    Thanks.

    Thanks to anyone who watched the video and commented on ideas for improvements or any other positive criticism which would help improve not just the build quality, but my general knowledge of radios/antennas/and engineering.
    I know I am purchasing a dx commander. That's right, my video.... Promoted me... To purchase a DX commander. Now watch my next antenna build video. I'll build a DX Commander and these same people will flip $*+# because I didn't build one myself.

    VK7HH already did a build and review of the DX Commander (see post #34), and it is on the main page of QRZed. Right now.

    Perhaps you may wish to add a comment on that thread after your build of a DX Commander. Not sure we need to see another video on the main page of Zed on the same product. MO.

    Well you should, and fast forward to the end where he says it's to expensive and you should buy from Cal.

    No offense intended. My use of Peanut Gallery pertained to everyone who did not participate in the build, including me. I made no point of characterization of anything, just that folks speculating on how Callum would react really have no idea, how could they???.....for all we know he could be asking Sean to put these videos out to drive customers his way.....

    Now, for what it is worth, I am going outside to build my DX Commander Classic before it gets too dang hot.
