Description
TinyGawant – Kit
The TinyGawant is an ultra-portable QRP HF whip antenna designed for fast, “operate anywhere” deployment. It features a built-in manual tuner/matching network and an integrated SWR indicator to help you quickly find a usable match in the field – no analyzer required. This antenna targets SOTA/POTA style activations, minimalist kits, and portable SWL stations. As with any compact HF antenna, the TinyGawant is inherently compromised. However, under good solar conditions and in the right scenarios, the convenience can be absolutely worth it.

Received and built today, and having a lot of fun with it! Delivery was prompt, the kit was complete and I was very impressed with the packaging. Each part was sealed in small blister packs strung together which made a non-issue of small parts rolling around. Instructions were spot on, wish I had read ahead regarding heat after soldering, (ouch) HI! So far it looks like it might give my AX1 a run for its money, but I’ll have to take them out for a proper field test. Makes a perfect match for a QMX or CFT1.
