If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser searchbox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFdBgDzW7cc This is post 464 in a continuing series of simple ham radio antennas. Thanks to Steve (K1GMM) for this intriguing variation of the classic fan dipole. In this case, the antenna is a vertical "Fan" antenna with rf fed at the bottom of the antenna.   As designed by Steve, this antenna covers 160 meters as well as 30 to 10 meters.  You can add as many vertical elements as you want.  Just be sure to have an excellent ground radial or counterpoise system for this "beast."   Thanks for joining us today.
