Not all PL259s are the same. The newer designs are a superior design and accurate. Anyway, I nearly cock this up. Perhaps rate me out of 10! Callum. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8smxHtzwaY
This is why I can't solely rely on a Microwave to test antenna components.

I put my VHF/UHF antenna on my hydraulic lighting rig and it's amazing. 0-30 feet in 1 minute. Diamond V2000. 6m, 2m and 70cm with Triplexer. Callum.

Calling CQ. Not everyone does. I happen to like to call CQ on a dead band. That's when some of the best fun and super DX can happen. Bottom line is that if you don't call CQ then other ham radio operators won't know you're there. Try it. :)

My name is Callum, callsign M0MCX. In my "real" life, I own and manage Barclay Anderson, an IT Recruitment Company (http://www.barclayanderson.com/) and I'm co-owner and Director of BarclayJames, a Web/Media business (http://www.barclayjames.co.uk/)
DX Commander Ltd was originally a hobby-business. Well, it still is. Turnover isn't even £100k per annum. The DX Commander "project" was a bit of an accident since the products I make and sell were the answer to *my* problems. So I made gear that worked for me. I don't make gear that doesn't work and although I'm considered "not short of a few dollars", I love the idea of making practical antennas economical, easy to build and as efficient as you can achieve on a tight budget (hey, I hate wasting money!).
My store is here: https://www.m0mcx.co.uk/store/products/ and I ship (almost) worldwide.
Russia seems to be too expensive however EU, USA, Canada and VK land still make my products economical when you include shipping.

Enjoy your radio folks. Good luck. Callum. M0MCX.

I filmed this and built it inside 60 minutes at the same time! Buy yours here: https://goo.gl/VRsRYT. Famous DX Commander All Bander Vertical Classic. Multiple Quarter Waves. Radials to suit. Steve Nelson recons he can build this up inside 15 minutes. I can't do it that quickly...! He must be a genius or something..!

We take our 3 element yagi we built last week and compare height -vs- gain -vs-elevation using software modeling. Does 6 feet make a difference? Probably. Decide for yourself.
