Simple Ham Radio Antennas

If you want to build a 30-foot (9.146-meter) antenna mast from locally available parts, please try this mast idea from Stephen Cline. This project was submitted to Dave Casler (KE0OG) and was included in the popular "Ask Dave" webcast.

I ran across this fascinating antenna article in the 14 September 2023 issue of "Amateur Radio Daily." Author Tom Pierce (K8EBR) discusses the theory, construction, testing, and use of this easily-made dipole antenna. Views expressed in this article are those of Tom Pierce (K8EBR).

September 14, 2023 "Thanks to Tom Pierce K8EBR for submitting his write-up of a 20 meter vertical half-wave dipole. Tom describes an outstanding antenna for DX primarily because it is an efficient radiator, it exhibits a true 50 ohm input impedance, and it has an almost ideal horizontal toroid low angle radiation pattern."

Here's an interesting vertical DX antenna that's suitable for both portable and at-home operations. Tim (G5TM) provides a general overview of the "Rybakov Antenna" and compares it to the classic 1/4 wavelength vertical antenna. If you're short on space, this antenna could provide what you need to get and stay on the air.

How does this antenna match up against its quarter wave cousin? Connect with my channel by subscribing and commenting.
