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.

Here are some comments from Paul (W2PAK):
In this video, I take a 7-band End-Fed Half-Wave (EFHW) antenna for a complete, practical deployment. Whether you're into portable operations, POTA/SOTA, or just want a reliable multiband wire antenna you can set up quickly, this walkthrough covers everything you need.
🔧 What You’ll See in This Video:
• Full EFHW setup
• Support points and layout
• Tuner/use considerations (if needed)
• SWR check across all 7 bands
• On-air performance
📡 Bands Covered:
40m • 30m • 20m • 17m • 15m • 12m • 10m
If you're looking for a practical deployment guide or want to compare EFHW performance with your own setup, this video should help you get started quickly and confidently.

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.

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.

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.
