Top Band Vertical Small Garden/Backyard Antenna

Erecting a 160-Meter ("Top Band") antenna can be challenging, especially if you live on a small urban lot. In this video, Mike (M0MSN) shows us how a "DX Commander HF Antenna" and a homemade 160 Meter loading coil can get you on the air with an acceptable signal.

Base loading Coil for 160M Top Band. You asked me to build a small garden/ back yard Antenna for the 160M band so I used the DX Commander as the starting point. turn your 80M inverted L into a Top band antenna or use your 40M vertical. Please note that both antennas are a compromise and will not work as well as a full size antenna build for the bands. Still have fun and give it a go... Please subscribe and like.
