Simple Ham Radio Antennas

  You don't need a lot of money to make an efficient, easily deployable antenna for the Amateur Radio HF bands. In this video, Walt (K4OGO) shows us how build a simple speaker wire antenna covering the 20 through 10 meter amateur radio bands. Most of the materials for this project are easily found at the nearest hardware store, building supply outlet, or online from various vendors.  These parts include banana plugs, cheap speaker wire, a PVC mast, and coaxial cable.

How would you like to work DX on both the 20m and 17 meter bands with a simple, easily made antenna? In this video, Peter Waters (G3OJV) shows us how to build, tune, and use a basic vertical antenna to cover these two DX bands. The antenna uses locally available materials and can be used on small urban lots as well as for POTA/SOTA operations.
