Here's another simple, effective, and inexpensive antenna suitable for both home and field use. In this video, VE3BF uses common materials to make a quick and easy 40 meter vertical antenna, which can be used on other amateur radio bands with an "antenna tuner." Here are the materials needed for this project: Shakespeare telescoping 20 carbon fibre fishing pole from Amazon. 33' 9"/10.28 meters of 18 gauge speaker wire. LDG 4:1 balun. 20'/6.097 meters of 50 ohm coaxial cable for the feedline. Extra wire for a simple ground radial or counterpoise system.
