Deploying a 7-Band EFHW-Full set up & performance test

 

Thanks to Paul Kline (W2PAK) for this "Practical Guide to End Fed Antennas."

In this video, Paul shows us the "full set up & performance test" of a 7-band End Fed Halfwave (EFHW) antenna.  

According to Paul, this design allows multiband coverage of the 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, and 10m amateur radio bands.

Paul offers many suggestions on to build and use this versatile HF antenna.
