Gain with one wire: Trying an End Fed ZigZag
Do you want a bit more gain from your end-fed wire antenna? If you do, then this end-fed zigzag wire antenna is for you. In this video, Peter Parker (VK3YE) builds 21 MHz (15 Meter Band) zigzag antenna to see if his signal is enhanced throughout the Pacific and North America. His results are positive and leaves room for more experimentation. The antenna is easy to build and deploy.
