When I first spoke to Mike Giannaccio W5REZ six months ago, he was at the very early stages of creating a new ham radio antenna company. REZ Antenna was more than just an idea, but not much more than that. Mike was working hard on creating a quality production plan, he had built some prototypes and even sold those prototypes to a few lucky operators. From the beginning, it was clear that Mike was on a specific mission to create a quality, successful, and sustainable company. So, I wasn’t surprised to recently see an announcement that REZ Antenna had teamed up with DX Engineering to distribute his antennas to their massive customer base. Checking in with him for this interview, Mike already has several hundred antennas in the field and has plans to expand his product line. Watch this video interview to get Mike's update on REZ Antenna and what the future holds. And, look for him in Dayton in 2024.

This is a great antenna for field operations. Its built like a tank and offers coverage of 80, 60 and 40 meters and the higher bands in one coil I have a few simple hacks as well Buymeacoffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ve3ips ve3ips.wordpress.com ve3ips@gmail.com Instagram @ve3ips_portable_operator YouTube @VE3IPS Ham Radio is a life$$$tyle not a Hobby! Take the radio outside and operate from the Field Throw a wire in a tree and make a QSO Tinfoil has many uses beyond the BBQ REMEMBER WHAT RUDY ALWAYS SAYS: 1. Buy Cheap Buy Twice - That online special that is a non-branded product may have misinformation in its marketing approach lost in translation 2. Buy Once Cry Once - Buy the Best with a Warranty that has Teeth 3. One is None and 2 is One - Think back up or a Modular approach

https://www.rezantenna.com/ Two back packs 1) REZ Antenna Ranger 80 Antenna System 2) Icom 703 One of the best portable radios and it has a built in tuner. Get the Collins filter add on for CW The antenna is the best built and highest quality portable antenna I have ever owned. Its an investment with all stainless steel, alum and made in a factory NOT some guys garage in Palooka

Ham radio operators love to banter about their antennas and the next one they are going to make, or buy. Mike Giannaccio is no different except that he decided to design the perfect antenna for his Parks on the Air activations and then to take it to market. He's been working on this project for over 2 years and finally started to deliver his new antenna in March 2023. In this interview, Mike talks about his background, what he was looking for in an antenna, and the process of developing his new company.
