If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPPP3JWNJLY This is post 2644 in a continuing series of simple ham radio antennas. Here's another great antenna idea for portable or field use. Thanks to Peter Marx for this ultra-simple 40 meter inverted V antenna. You can achieve multiband HF coverage with an antenna transmatch (i.e. "tuner"). Why not make this antenna for the upcoming ARRL Field Day? Here are some comments from Peter: Here's my ultra-portable 40m wire dipole that is held up by a 6m squid pole anchored to an aluminium ground stake. ----- Thanks for joining us today.
