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.

Great antenna for POTA, SOTA, HOA or any quick portable operation. Works especially well if you already own a JPC-12.
