Use this antenna-no tuner-all bands

-


 According to Kevin (K7SW), the Chameleon LEFS 8010 End-Fed Antenna deploys "in 20 minutes...and became a 'go to' for ME.'"

Kevin shows how to erect, test, and tune the Chameleon LEFS 8010 End-Fed Antenna for field or portable situations such as POTA and SOTA events.  Also, the antenna is suitable for your home station if you have sufficient space.

Here are some comments from Kevin (K7SW):

n this Video I deploy the Chameleon Antenna Systems LEFS 8010 Endfed antenna I verify the SWR readings for the bands I like to operate on. and set this antenna up in a couple locations to see how well this antenna works for me. Chameleon Antenna provided the LEFS8010 antenna and feed line choke for review. 🔹CHA LEFS 8010 End fed antenna https://geni.us/LEFS8010 🔹CHA RFI CHOKE https://geni.us/NnRw1G5 🔹RG8X coax - 50 foot cable with connectors https://geni.us/ltxfp Mounts 🔹2" Flag pole buddy mount https://geni.us/AeWuRA 🔹1.5" Flag pole buddy mount https://geni.us/eksAdn6 🔹Paracord 100' sections https://geni.us/FdU4P0f 🔹Trigger snap 1" swivel https://geni.us/fz24 🔹21 foot gopher pole https://geni.us/9Xv3qn2 Using the affiliate links in this description, costs you nothing more and helps us to earn a small commission for the channel which supports making more Videos like this.

I built a US military TEFV HF Field Antenna

  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.

Build an EASY 6 Meter (50 MHz) Vertical Antenna

-
Image
  Here's another great 6 meter band antenna idea from Hayden (VK7HH). This vertical antenna is based on the "classic Cobra Antenna" described by the late Bill Orr (W6SAI). The antenna is easy-to-make using a few basic tools, a PVC mast, some RG-58 coaxial cable, and a few connectors. This antenna is suitable for both home and portable use. If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h7UGNbWmsY. Thanks for joining us today. Aloha es 73 de Russ (KH6JRM). Here are some comments from Hayden (VK7HH): This is a really simple and easy to construct antenna that will get you on the air on the six meter band using only RG-58 coax! I needed a quick and simple antenna for my WSPR beacon over the summer season. Enter the coaxial dipole or aka flowerpot antenna!
