Simple Ham Radio Antennas

In this video, Julian (OH8STN) tests a new ultralight off-center-fed dipole antenna from Chameleon Antennas.  According to Julian, this field-tested antenna is "efficient, rugged, waterproof" and "lightweight." The antenna is suitable for rapid deployment at both your home station and any portable operation.

The antenna is the OCF 40 from chameleon antenna. The HF dipole is resonant on 40, 20 and 10 meters. It handles 50 watts SSB and 20 watts all other modes. Join me as we test this off center fed dipole with the Xiegu X6100 running on solar power and Icom IC-705 running an NVIS winlink session on 40 meters. 73 Julian #oh8stn ----- Thanks f

  If you need an efficient portable HF antenna for field or home use, then check out this video from Julian (OH8STN). The antenna is an off-center fed dipole design from Chameleon Antennas.   Julian tests the antenna in an actual field installation and gets some excellent results from his QRP transceiver.
