Simple Fan Dipole Antenna
Here's a great idea for your next portable HF antenna. In this video, Tim (G5TM) shows how a few lengths of wire, a suitable mast, and some 300-ohm ladder line can be transformed into a versatile "fan dipole antenna" covering the 17m and 10m amateur radio bands. Construction and deployment of this DIY HF antenna are easy. This project can be completed in a short space of time using materials you may already have at your home station. The antenna can addresses a variety of field or home station purposes.
