Ham Radio Dual Band Vertical-Easy construction

How would you like to work DX on both the 20m and 17 meter bands with a simple, easily made antenna?

In this video, Peter Waters (G3OJV) shows us how to build, tune, and use a basic vertical antenna to cover these two DX bands.

The antenna uses locally available materials and can be used on small urban lots as well as for POTA/SOTA operations.

Here are some comments from Peter (G3OJV):

Here is a very simple vertical antenna that is capable offering DX contacts on 20m and 17m. It's very easy to make and is a great project for those with small gardens or back yards. UK Ham Radio Store https://www.hamradiostore.co.uk Fibre Glass Poles https://www.hamradiostore.co.uk/catal...

This video demonstrates how to build a simple dual-band vertical antenna for 20m and 17m bands. The antenna uses a single radial for 20m and a shorter radial for 17m, which are both elevated above ground for improved performance. The video explains the process of tuning the antenna to resonance on both bands, using a simple method of trimming the radials.
