I built a military TEFV Antenna for HF Ops
If you need a broadband, multiband HF antenna with excellent "directivity" then the military-based Terminated End Fed Vee Antenna" is for you. In this video, Walt shows how to design, build, test, and use this fascinating HF antenna. This antenna is easy to deploy and is perfect for portable operations.

Here are some comments from Walt (K4OGO): I built a US Military TEFV antenna to spec and worked the HF bands #hamradio #portablehamradio #hamradioantenna Link to Palomar Engineers maker of the 12:1 balun and 600 ohm termination resistor: https://palomar-engineers.com Salty Walt uses a 100-foot piece of wire in a field in Portsmouth, Virginia, to construct and test a broadband TEFV antenna. The setup is designed for low takeoff angles on the 10-meter band and includes a 600-ohm ter...
