    Hello operators.
    Yesterday, I finally had a chance to get back out in the field to test the "CHA Spike". The CHA Spike is a new deployment option for the Chameleon MPAS, Hybrid Mini, Hybrid Micro or any other broadband matching transformer using a 3/8 base. Admittedly, I was a little sceptical! The CHA Spike is a 15inch (38cm) stainless steel ground spike designed to provide a stable base for collapsible whip style antenna systems. In this video I deploy the CHA Spike with the Chameleon MPAS and MIL EXT add-on, on top of a local hill, an excellent radio spot, but unfortunately devoid of trees.
    I do hope this video is found to be useful.
