If you want to build simple HF antennas from coaxial cable, then this video from Tim (G4TM) and Hayden (VK7HH) is the place to explore that idea. Here are some general comments from Tim and Hayden: Do you want to make a simple HF antenna using nothing but coax? Well today at the 2021 YouTubers Hamfest, I speak with Tim G5TM as he shares his experiences on building HF antennas, running portable, mobile and the fun to be had during the Sporadic E season. These HF antennas are simple to build and an easy way to get on the air! Check out Tim's YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZSa...

Thanks to Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW) for this fascinating magnetic loop project.  Kevin uses his "homebrew" loop to make his first contact on the fairly new 630 meter Amateur Radio Band. Here are some comments from Kevin: Things I've learned about the loop and CW on 630 meters. Also, my first contact.

Thanks to the "RadioHamGuy" for this exceptionally clear discussion and assembly of a basic mag loop antenna.  This antenna would be ideal for those living in deed-restricted apartments (HOA/CC&RS).  Those favoring portable or field operations should add this antenna to their "go-box." Here are some general comment from the "RadioHamGuy": My Low Cost Magnetic Loop Antenna For 10-12 Meters I decided to build a magnetic loop antenna that would cover the ham radio frequencies from around 20 to 30 Mhz so I could use it on portable with my Magnum 1012 hand held radio. This is what I come up with. Since those bands are heating up now with the progress of the new sun spot cycle, this should be fun to use with the low power output of the radio and should
