If you enjoy antenna experiments, you may want to investigate the often controversial "EH Antenna." In this video from Paul (OM0ET), we get a step-by-step plan for designing and testing the EH Antenna on the 40 meter Amateur Radio Band. This antenna is based on a design from WB5CXC.

Here are some suggestions and precautions from Paul: This is my homebrew EH antenna for 40M band. This antenna has the problem with a strong returning RF in to coax.
