Best First Amateur Ham Radio HF Antenna for new operators

This is post 2139 in a continuing series of simple ham radio antennas. Most radio amateurs remember their first antenna. Mine was an ungainly 100-ft/30.48 m piece of speaker wire running into a homebrew L "tuner". I managed to work many DX contacts with this less-than optimum random wire. Of course, my old Heathkit HW-101 was very forgiving in those days. In this video, Callum (M0MCX) reminisces about his first HF antenna-a beautiful delta loop mounted about 7 m (23.96 ft) above ground. Callum takes you back to that day and shows you how to design, build, and test this versatile HF antenna. An excellent tutorial for both experienced and newly-licensed ham radio operators. ----- For the latest Amateur/Ham Radio news and information, please visit these websites: http://www.HawaiiARRL.info. ...
