Half-Square Antenna.
If you need a monoband HF antenna with a low takeoff angle and a modest gain of 3.6 dBi, then this Half-Square Antenna project from Tim (K5OHY) is for you! Time takes us through the full design, construction, testing, and use phases of this impressive antenna. This antenna is suitable for both portable and home station use.

Here are some comments from Tim (K5OHY): In this video, I head out to the park to build and test the Half-Square antenna. This simple full-wavelength wire antenna has some impressive features: about 3.6 dBi of gain broadside and a low takeoff angle, making it excellent for DX. I’ll cover the basic configuration, show some modeling results, set it up in the field, and compare it to a vertical using the RBN and KiwiSDR. Finally, I’ll put it on the air...
