If you're looking for a commercially-made HF antenna, then this tutorial from "learningbyelectronics" may be what you need. The antenna featured in this program is the popular Hustler 4-BTV from DX Engineering. The video takes us from unpacking the antenna through its assembly and testing. If you decide to make your own ground radial plate, you can use a large aluminum pizza pan available at Walmart.  Good luck on your new antenna! ----- Thanks for joining us today.

Although I build most of the antennas at my home, there are a few commercial antennas worth your time and effort. Among them is the Hustler 4-BTV from DX Engineering. In this video from "learnelectronics", we get an excellent step-by-step assembly procedure for this HF vertical antenna.     This antenna has gained several outstanding reviews from fellow radio amateurs.  If you can't build your own antenna, then try the  4-BTV.  Just take your time and make all adjustments carefully. ----- Thanks for joining us today.
