Simple Ham Radio Antennas

  The Rybakov vertical antenna is a favorite field, SOTA, and POTA antenna.  Is it possible to build an antenna that performs a bit better than the Rybakov? According to Michael Martens (KB9VBR), a modified 53-foot (16.158 meters) inverted L antenna can improve your field or portable contacts with just a few additional components. Michael provides a complete guide to deploying this simple HF antenna.

  How would you like to build a HF multi-band antenna that takes up less than 30-feet (9.146 meters) and will fit into a small urban lot? If this stirs your curiosity, please check out this excellent video from Tim  (G5TM). Tim explores the pros and cons of what he calls the "L-shaped doublet."  This antenna performs very well, considering the space limitation inherent in its design.
