How to reengineer a commercial 5/8 wave CB antenna for the 10 Meter Amateur Radio Band. "Ianxfs" takes us step-by-step through the design, reconfiguration, construction, and testing of an adapted CB antenna dedicated to the 10 Meter Band. If you can't see the video, please check insert this title URL into your browser search box:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eboJV6rY4a4 Here are some comments from "Ianxfs": Further development of a design from the website below where a commercial 5/8ths wave CB antenna is reverse engineered. This enhanced model is tuned specifically for the 10m amateur band and also adopts a ferrite choke, which is an improved option over the air-wound choke which is also shown in the build. The parts for this simple DIY build probably already exist in your shack? If not, they come to about £5 for the air-wound choke model, or about £10 if you go for the ferrite choke model. A list of parts: Main Antenna = 3.5m RG58 coax + 3.25m of insulat

Here's another dipole antenna worth building.  In this video from Michael Martens (KB9VBR), we see how to design, build, and test an 80 meter Off Center Fed Dipole Antenna (OCF). Michael built this antenna for the 2020 ARRL Field Day Event.

If you want a "simple but effective tripod antenna" for field or emergency operations, please try this idea from Carl (M0SZT). This antenna can also be used as a "stealth antenna" for radio amateurs living in deed-restricted properties. If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRkCqJApQg8 Here are a few comments from Carl (M0SZT): I cannot take credit for this idea, I'm sure Noah had a version of this on the Ark. I reused my Proam 20m whip and added this to a tripod with radials. The reason I did this was the mobile antenna on the car wasn't very efficient. Luckily I have a camera tripod mount from the Superantenna however with a little bit of DIY you can make your own base as shown in the video. Good luck, tell me how you get on.
