Informative, easy-to-follow tutorial on how to build a multiband HF vertical antenna. Thanks to Stephen Payne (W0KNI) for this portable version of the "classic" fanned dipole antenna.  Stephen uses several 3D printed parts for this project.

Here are some comments from Stephen: In this video I'm going to show you how I combined the fun hobbies of Amateur Radio and 3D Printing to create a DIY Multiband Vertical Dipole antenna system. We will build, erect, tune and get on the air today - so keep watching! Thanks to my QSO's out there - KF6YIJ and KX7TL.
