Build a dirt cheap speaker wire vertical antenna for HF.


 Portable HF antennas don't have to be expensive.  With a little ingenuity and a few tools, you can build an efficient, light weight HF antenna without spending a lot of money.

In this video from Walt (K4OGO), we see how a few simple tools, banana clips, PVC pipe, a beach umbrella holder, and some ordinary speaker wire can become a vertical antenna covering the 20 meter through 10 meter Amateur Radio bands.

This antenna is suitable for both portable and home station use.

Here are a few comments from Walt (K4OGO):

Build an effective and inexpensive vertical antenna for any HF band. In this video I show you how to make speaker wire verticals to cover 20 through 10 meters. #hamradioantenna #hamradio #amateurradio Link to my drawing plan can be found on the Coastal Waves & Wires Facebook page.
