BG4KGU Add an extension pole to create a center-mounted antenna. The overall feeling is: 40 meters is basically unusable, but 20 meters can be used for FT8. With a large antenna and good propagation, you can also use it for voice communication. The MA-01 only solves the problem of going from no antenna to having one. If you have a balcony, try using a fishing rod with a longer line or something like the GP4, which has a slightly longer physical length, without needing to constantly replace the MA-01's extension coil.
