Effective Indoor Antennas.


 

Many radio amateurs use indoor and stealth antennas to protect their stations from inclement weather or to avoid deed-restrictions common to HOAs and CC&Rs.

In this video, Dave Casler (KE0OG) explores several useful HF indoor antennas, including the rollup dipole and the classic J-Pole antennas.

Here are a few comments from Dave:

Peirre, KM4WSJ, lives in Florida and is often victim to powerful lightning and thunder storms and is forced to disconnect his antenna. His question to Dave, Can you recommend a homebrew antenna that I could use indoors and could switch from the outdoor to the indoor during thunderstorms? Subscribe:    / davecasler  .
