Simple Ham Radio Antennas--Ham Radio 10 Meter Ground Plane Antenna. Post #576.


A good, basic introduction to the theory, design, and building of a 10 Meter Ground Plane Antenna from Dave Tadlock (KG0ZZ). If you have difficulty in viewing this video, please insert the following URL into your browser search box: https://youtu.be/aLgFeTpIX4A.  Most of the materials for this simple, efficient antenna can be found at the nearest hardware store or building supply outlet.  I built one of these antennas a few years ago using material and wire from the Home Depot Store in Hilo, Hawaii.  If you mount this antenna at least a half wavelength above ground (approximately 16.5 feet/5.03 meters), you will get some excellent performance on 10 meters.  Of course, propagation will play a significant role in helping your signal go beyond your immediate neighborhood.  If you mount this antenna at ground level, but sure to install a good radial ground system.  For the latest Amateur Radio news and events, please check out the blog sidebars.
