Build an easy 10 meter (28 MHz) vertical antenna for DX



Now that HF propagation has improved (thanks to Solar Cycle 25), this may be the ideal time to expand your DX horizons with a simple, effective 10 meter (28 MHz) vertical antenna.

Hayden (VK7HH) takes us step-by-step through the design, construction, testing, and use of this ultra-simple antenna.  The antenna is perfect for at home or field operations.

Here are some comments from Hayden (VK7HH):

In this video I will show how to build a simple ham radio antenna for 10 Meters using just one piece of coax and some wire. So... let's build a 28 MHz vertical antenna to work some of the DX and not miss out! 10 Meters has been going gangbusters with signals lately! You can also build this for 27 MHz CB, just modify it a little and make it slightly longer. 🎥 Watch more recent videos here: https://www.youtube.com/c/HamRadioDX/...
