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. http://www.arrl.org. http://w

A nice, laid back antenna tutorial from "DX Commander" as he describes his first amateur radio antenna--a delta loop mounted 7 meters (22.96 ft) above ground.  This antenna produced great results for him during his first years as a licensed radio amateur. In this video, "DX Commander" shows you how to design, build, use, and test a simple delta loop antenna, which can cover several amateur radio bands with a balanced feedline and an antenna "tuner."  Delta loops are easy to make, exhibit low noise on receive, and can be designed to be "stealthy" in crowded neighborhoods.
