The POTA PERformer and POTA Dominator go head to head.
In this popular antenna series from Michael Martens (KB9VBR), we visit a scenic Wisconsin State Park for a head to head showdown between two excellent portable antennas.
While either antenna will serve you well, one in particular seems to have the performance edge.

Here are some comments from Michael (KB9VBR):
We spend a long weekend at Merrick State Park (POTA US-1462) on the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi River and put both the POTA PERformer and the POTA Dominator on the air. Which antenna will win this riverside ham radio battle.
