Simple Ham Radio Antennas

Another outstanding video tutorial from Ray of "The Radio Workshop."  In this video, Ray show us how to build a 160 meter antenna that fits into a space occupied by a small garden.  Most radio amateurs living on a small urban lot can appreciate the time and effort that goes into building an effective 160 meter antenna for a limited space. Although Ray admits his antenna isn't the most efficient, it will get you on "top band" with a reasonable signal.  As an added bonus, the antenna also covers all amateur/ham radio bands from 80 meters through 10 meters.  Don't deny yourself the pleasure of working on this fascinating slice of the radio spectrum.  Build this antenna over the weekend and see how well it works in your location.

A truly inspirational video from Ray of the "Radio Workshop" in the UK.  Many radio amateurs who share the extreme antenna limitations posed by deed or space-restricted homes will find a sympathetic ear in this video.  Rather than surrender to space limiting scenarios, Ray has taken a potential liability (he has only a small garden space for an outdoor antenna) and turned it into a workable alternative to "no antenna at all."  Ray says he was surprised by the  performance of this highly compromised antenna, which gives him a decent signal on 160 meters as well as coverage on frequencies between 80 and 10 meters.  Follow Ray's example and you won't stay off the air for long.
