A very short video from Neven (9A5YY) showing us his simple, portable inverted V antenna.  He seems to get a variety of good contacts using only 5 watts into his Yaesu-FT-817ND transceiver. The antenna has only a few parts: Spiderbeam HD 12 m/39.36 ft telescoping fiberglass mast. MFJ-1779C Center insulator. Antenna wire. Plastic insulators. Various clips and clamps. Ancell 5(50 ohm) coaxial cable for the feed line. MFJ-269 Antenna Analyzer. Neven says the antenna is resonant at 14.180 MHz with an SWR of 1.2.
