Simple Ham Radio Antennas

  How would you like to build a 3-band dipole antenna using only one feed line and no antenna "tuner?"  You can if you check out this easy, efficient, and cost effective "Fan Dipole" from Stephen (K4SRF). In this video, Stephen takes us step-by-step through the design and construction phases of this inexpensive antenna.  Most of the parts for this project are easy to find, especially if you have a well-stocked "Junk Box" at your station.   Stephen's project covers the 40/20/10 Meter Amateur Radio Bands.  Also, the 40 meter segments can be used on the 15 Meter Band.  This is a fun project which can be made at a minimum of cost and time.

  Linear loading is a popular and easy way to modify a dipole antenna so that it fits onto a small urban lot. In this video, Tim (G5TM) discusses the pros and cons of using this method to design and build effective HF antennas.  These antennas work very well if you pay attention to details such as antenna and feedline lengths. Also, Tim provides an excellent overview of some of his antenna experiments using linear loading.  This approach can be helpful for those operating in restricted environments.
