Simple Ham Radio Antennas

  How would you like to build a simple vertical antenna that covers 6 bands and requires no variable capacitors for tuning? In this video, Peter Parker (VK3YE) uses readily available parts to build what he calls a "super simple vertical antenna" covering 18, 21, 24, and 28 MHz Amateur Radio Bands. The antenna is ideal for rapid deployment for your next SOTA/POTA expedition.  The antenna is equally at home where space may be at a premium.  The antenna works very well and will provide hours of DX enjoyment.

Here are some comments from Peter (VK3YE): The higher HF bands have been good lately. Here's a simple 7m tall vertical antenna that is quick to deploy - ideal for WWFF, POTA or SOTA activity - yet works on several bands. Video describes antenna and coupling unit. ...

  Radio amateurs can use almost anything made of metal for an HF antenna. In this video, Walt (K4OGO) uses two metal slinky toys to build an inexpensive and fun-to-use antenna for portable operations. Walt takes us through the entire construction process and ends up with a remarkably effective vertical antenna that requires no counterpoise or ground radial system.
