End Fed Half Wave Antennas are simple, compact, and highly portable.  The secret to an effective EFHW antenna is the 49:1 transformer which matches the impedance of your transceiver to the extremely high impedance of the antenna itself. In this video, "Tech Minds" shows us how to build a basic 49:1 UnUn which will protect your transceiver as well as deliver maximum efficiency for the antenna. Here are some general comments from "Tech Minds": Here we take a look at an End Fed Half Wave antenna which is resonant on many HF bands due to a 49:1 matching unit being used.
