Simple Ham Radio Antennas

End Fed Random Wire Antennas can be effective, easy-to-build HF antennas if you follow the instructions in this video from Michael Martens (KB9VBR). Michael takes us through the design, construction, and testing of this versatile HF antenna.  This design suitable for both at home and "in the field operations."
