If you have an extra piece of coaxial cable at your station, you may want to build a simple T2LT vertical antenna.
In this video, Morten (LB0FI) builds a 10 meter amateur radio band T2LT vertical dipole antenna in his backyard. Morten shows us the complete building, testing, and use of the popular HF antenna.

Here are some comments from Morten (LB0FI):
After watching a couple of videos by @TIMG5TM about the T2LT vertical dipole I figured I should make one myself. I made one for 10 meters, even though the ten meter band still isn't really open this far north. Oh, and so sorry about the audio, I forget to check the levels on my recorder.

LB0FI provides a step-by-step guide to constructing a T2LT vertical dipole antenna using recycled RG58 coaxial cable. LB0FI demonstrates how to prepare the cable, build an air-wound choke, and test the final setup with an analyzer to confirm its performance for portable operations.

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...
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 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!
