An inexpensive 3-band magnetic loop antenna

-


 

If you have very little space to erect a HF antenna, please consider this magnetic loop design from Dennis Blanchard (K1YPP).

This inexpensive antenna covers the 40/30/20 meter amateur radio bands and can safely run 100 watts of power.  Most of the materials for this project are available at the nearest home improvement outlet or hardware store.

Here are some comments from Dennis (K1YPP):

This video describes a method of building a simple magnetic loop antenna for 3 bands (40/30/20 meters). The antenna is capable of 100 watts and costs approximately $20.00 USD. I've created a blog page that describes how to build this antenna in detail at: https://k1ypp.wordpress.com/2019/05/2...

  If you want to experiment with unconventional antenna designs, please consider adapting US military HF antennas.  These antennas are easy to build and perform well on several amateur radio bands. In this video, Walt (K4OGO) builds a Terminated End Fed V Antenna (TEFV).  The antenna is broad banded, requires no antenna "tuner", and covers frequencies from 1.8 to 30 MHz.

  Here's another way to operate your ham radio station without nosy neighbors complaining about the visual impact of your current antenna system. In this video, Danny (KD5W) shows us how to use your property fence as super stealth HF antenna.  You can find most of your materials at the nearest hardware or building supply outlet. Many operators call this project a "Fencetenna"--something you may wish to use if no other antenna design is available.

Ham Radio T2LT Antenna for 10m DX (or other bands).

-
Image
  If you want a low-cost, single band DX antenna for the 10 meter Amateur Radio band, please consider this T2LT (terminated folded dipole) design from Peter Waters (G3OJV). You can make this HF antenna from locally available materials. The T2LT is an excellent HF antenna for both portable and home station use. If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn5QGRzY-yM. Thanks for joining us today. Aloha es 73 de Russ (KH6JRM). Here are some comments from Peter (G3OJV): If you are looking for a low cost single band DX Antenna, the T2LT is worth considering. The chances are that you may already have everything you need to build one. It's also ideal for portable operation.
