9:1 Unun Random Wire Antenna for Ham Radio

-


 Is is possible to erect an antenna covering multiple amateur radio bands on a small urban lot or residential garden?

According to Peter Waters (G3OJV) this feat can be done if you use a 71-foot (21.64 meters) random wire antenna coupled to a 9:1 Unun.

In this video, Peter discusses optimum lengths, construction practices, and ground radial requirements for this simple, yet effective HF antenna.  Peter says this antenna is easy to install and covers amateur radio bands from 160 m to 10 m.

Here are some comments from Peter (G3OJV):

This is a "Random Wire" antenna that is just 71ft long and can be bent around the garden. It's easy to install and offers all-band coverage from 160m to 10m including 60m and the WARC bands. Peter G3OJV. explains how it works and how to install it and set it up.

Here are some comment from "Tinker John" (W5CYF): A simple and effective method of passing coax antenna cable through a window sill. Easy and inexpensive to make. Used for any type of antenna cable including ham radio, TV, CB or SWL. Suggested items that may be related to this video: https://www.amazon.com/shop/w5cyftink... This video shows how to create a window pass-through for coax cables, using readily available materials. The creator demonstrates a simple and inexpensive method for bringing coax cables from the outside into a ham shack, using a piece of printed circuit board and a pin...

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

-

  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.

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!
