What you can do with 15 metres of wire as an HF antenna

  What kind of HF antenna could you make from only 15 metres (49.21 feet) of wire? Australian radio amateur Peter Parker (VK3YE) answers that question with a fascinating video exploring HF antennas with short lengths of ordinary wire. Peter shows how to configure this wire so it covers amateur radio frequencies from 3.5 MHz to 28 MHz. This length of wire is suitable for both portable and at home use.

Here are some comments from Peter (VK3YE): How useful is a single 15 metres piece of wire as an antenna? I run through bands from 80m to 10m, explaining how it can be configured for the best results.
