Simple Ham Radio Antennas

  Thanks to Time (G5TM) for these simple, easy-to-build portable HF antennas. Tim shows us how to build a basic end-fed halfwave (EFHW) antenna and the Rybakov antenna. Both antenna systems use locally available parts and can be built in a few minutes. These multiband antennas are suitable for both field and home station use.

Here are some comments from Tim (G5TM): Try these examples of getting out for portable HF. Both will get you on the air within 5-minutes and be more efficient than any mobile HF whip antenna. Enjoy your radio! 73 TIM G5TM demonstrates how to construct and deploy two efficient, multi-band HF antennas for portable field operations. By detailing setup processes for both a vertical and a sloper design, the guide illustrates practical techniques for improving transmission quality ...

  Here are two portable HF antennas that can be deployed in 5 minutes or less, making them ideal for SOTA/POTA operations or for special field events, such as The ARRL Field Day. According to Tim (G5TM) a simple end-fed vertical halfwave antenna and a basic Rybakov antenna configured as a sloping vertical will provide excellent service for whatever operating event you have in mind. These antennas are inexpensive and can be made from readily available materials.
