A stealth end fed wire for 80-10 meters

Thanks to Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW) for this clever stealth antenna.  Kevin says he needed another disguised antenna for his experiments.  So he came up with this simple, yet effective design. Key components include a 9:1 balun, an antenna "tuner", 58-ft/17.68-meters of antenna wire, and 40-ft/12.195-meters of wire for a counterpoise. If you live in a deed-restricted property (HOA/CC&R), Kevin's idea may get you on the air. ----- For the latest Amateur/Ham Radio news and information, please visit these websites: http://www.HawaiiARRL.info. http://www.arrl.org. http://www.blubrry.com/arrlaudionews/ http://www.hamradioupdate.com http://www.southgatearc.org. https://oahuarrlnews.wordpress.com. https://hamradiohawaii.wordpress.com https://bigislan
