My favorite SOTA Antenna-Summits on the Air.

Image
If you're thinking about a "SOTA" (Summits on the Air) mini-DXpedition, please consider this easily built portable antenna from the "SOTAGoats" video channel (W7TAO). A simple inverted Vee antenna fed by ladder line into a simple antenna transmatch (i.e. "tuner") can produce some excellent contacts once you're away from urban areas. The antenna can be made from readily available materials at a modest cost. If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6AP3DJ4fqA Here are some comments from the "SOTAGoats" website: By request, a short video to show my favorite homebrew SOTA antenna from the top of W7W/WH-162. Also, a guest appearance by my newest morse code paddle. ----- Thanks for joining us today. Aloha es 73 de Russ (KH6JRM).
