Abbree Antenna's Good, Bad or Silly

[VA3KOT John]

I own an Abree and it does work well; but then a wet noodle would work well from my QTH. The video does make a good point about the "other half" being the user's head. I often get an RF tingle in my hand when transmitting with  my Baofeng. A rat tail counterpoise might help and it is probably a good idea to use a speaker/mic to keep the radio away from my noggin.
