This is post 2574 in a continuing series of simple ham radio antennas.

Thanks to Tim (G5TM) for this helpful tutorial on designing, making, and using simple portable HF antennas.  These inexpensive antennas are suitable for both at-home use and field operations.

Here are some general comments from Tim:

Do you want to make a simple HF antenna using nothing but coax? Well today at the 2021 YouTubers Hamfest, I speak with Tim G5TM as he shares his experiences on building HF antennas, running portable, mobile and the fun to be had during the Sporadic E season. These HF antennas are simple to build and an easy way to get on the air! Check out Tim's YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZSa...
