JPC-12 PERformer Setup: Elevated Radials, 2-Min Band Changes & Low-SWR Cheat Sheet

🚨 Free Cheat Sheet link below! Get on the air in minutes with this JPC-12 portable antenna setup. Great for POTA, HOA, and SOTA too! In this video I activate POTA park US-2932 using my JPC-12 "PERformer" variation with tuned elevated linked radials. This is a portable, high-performance setup based on the Poor Man's POTA PERformer concept. ✅ What you'll learn: • How to set up elevated radials on the JPC-12 • Exact coil & whip settings using the free cheat sheet (no SWR meter or analyzer needed) • Quick band changes in about 2 minutes • Why a common mode choke is essential • Real on-air contacts on 20m with signal reports This configuration gives excellent SWR (typically 1.3-1.6) right from the cheat sheet settings and creates a nice front-to-back ratio toward the radials. *Download the FREE Cheat Sheet here:* https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ixZZ... Great antenna for POTA, SOTA, HOA or any quick portable operation. Works especially well if you already own a JPC-12. 73, Jerry - KM4ZKB Budget Ham Radio Timestamps: 0:00 - Park Activation & Setup Overview 0:42 - Antenna Details & Elevated Radials 2:29 - Common Mode Choke Tip 3:13 - 20m Tuning with Cheat Sheet 6:11 - On Air Contacts 14:18 - Re-configure for 17m band 17:09 - Real SWR Results & Tips 20:27 - Wrap Up #POTA #HamRadio #JPC12 #POTAPERformer ► Subscribe for more POTA activations, antenna builds, and portable ham radio tips!
