Simple Ham Radio Antennas

  Ham Radio operators will use most anything for an antenna-including common materials such as aluminum foil. In this video from David (DL1DN), we see how that aluminum foil you bought for your kitchen can be transformed into a working antenna for the 10 meter Amateur Radio band. This is a fun and ultra-cheap way to get on the 10 meter band without much effort.
