Simple Ham Radio Antennas

  If you want a multiband HF antenna using a single feedline, please consider this "Fan Dipole Design" from Stephen (K4SRF). In this video, Stephen designs and builds a 3-band fan dipole covering the 40, 20, and 10 meter amateur radio bands.  15 meter band coverage is possible by using the 3rd harmonic of the 40 meter band elements. If you carefully cut antenna elements to the proper length, you won't need an antenna "tuner." The antenna is simple, effective, and inexpensive.

  One of the easiest and least expensive dipole antennas available is the "classic" fan dipole.   If you're like Bob (KK4IV) in this video, most of the parts can be found in your "junk box" or at the nearest hardware store or building supply outlet. In this instance, Bob designed, built, and tested a multi-ban fan dipole covering the 40, 20, 17, and 10 meter amateur radio bands.  No antenna "tuner" is needed. This antenna uses parallel dipoles cut for each band and a single length of coaxial cable for a feed line.  The antenna is a simple project which delivers excellent results.

Here are some comments from Bob (KK4IV): I built a multiband dipole that will work 40, 20, 17, and 10 meters for ham radio. An easy project I was able to tackle in one day. Calculat...
