Here are some comments from Tim (G5TM) and Hayden (VK7HH):
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!
