I just saw in a video from Salty Walt (K4OGO) a new EFHW Design from #DXEngineering. They call it the TWIG and it reminds me somehow a bit to my 221-UnUn 😂 but what do I know... What do you thing? #hamradio #pota https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-twig-efhw https://github.com/DG1JAN/221-UnUn

@DG1JAN Great idea for an unun to use a Wago connector. But yes, this tracks with DXE to offer something that was a kit made by someone else but for $$$ with their logo on it -- there's a handful of these in their catalog.

@DG1JAN Think they copied you…

@DG1JAN obviously they removed the Wago branding. Lousy.

@DG1JAN This is disappointing behavior by DXE, given that the original is CC BY-SA. They don't owe you anything beyond "This is a great idea by DG1JAN. Importing things into the US is now obnoxious, so we're offering a derivative. Here's the gerbers for our version. To save money, you need to fab them in China; best of luck with tariff paperwork." I'm half-tempted to pull their design apart from photos and cut a PR on your repo.
