Simple Ham Radio Antennas

  Would you like to get on the air without spending much money and effort? You can if you convert an old CB (11 meters) antenna into a 6-band DX mobile antenna. In this video, German radio amateur DC3TB shows us how he converted a 30-year-old CB antenna into a multiband mobile DX antenna.

Here are some comments from DC3TB: Today I show you how I have converted my 30 years old DV27S Antenna into a DX Mobile Antenna for the 10-40m ham radio bands. Keep in mind that the length can vary a little bit! Just for information: In the video you see another antenna below the DV27S. I have done some tests with this antenna , too. But it was hard to extend it for other bands. You needed a longer wire and to adjust it for the 20m band was impossible, because the wire was getting too long. And think about

  How would you like to build a simple, effective HF antenna covering 7 bands from 40 meters through 10 meters? You can if you follow Tim's (G5TM) suggestions in this outstanding video. This vertical HF antenna takes up little space and can be used at both your home station and in the "field."

Here are some comments from Tim (G5TM): A good deal of fun with the 9 metre long sloping wire and the MAT-40 long-wire feed-point tuner on a VERY windy hilltop! Only 4 metres of space required for 40 through 10 metres! Connect with my channel by commenting and subscribing. Email: TimG5TM@icloud.com Transcript Follow along using the transcript.

  If you need a more compact sized antenna for the 40 meter Amateur Radio Band, please try this linerally-loaded 40 meter vertical antenna. According to Colin (MM0OPX), this antenna design is "small, cheap, and efficient."  This antenna can fit a moderately sized urban lot with plenty of room for a ground radial system.

Here are some comments from Colin (MM0OPX): Demonstration of a linear loaded 1/4 wave vertical amtenna that shows (at least) in modeling that it is as efficient as a full size 1/4 wave. What do you think? Let me know in the comments below. Transcript Follow along using the transcript. Show transcript MM0OPX Field Radio 6.96K subscribers Videos About

  I first encountered the half square HF antenna during an ARRL Field Day event several years ago.  The antenna was made for the 20 meter Amateur Radio Band, and did an excellent job of delivering DX to my Hawaii location. In this video, Callum (M0MCX) shows us to design, build, test, and use this monoband HF antenna, which is capable of delivering approximately 3dB gain over a 1/4 wave vertical antenna.

Here are some comments from Callum (M0MCX): Let's unlock the the Secrets of the Half Square Antenna - How to build a half-square antenna and let us look at the gain structure. Maybe a 40m band project. Ideal if you have some trees maybe? Callum.
