Build the Frankentenna!
If you need a simple, effective, and light weight vertical antenna for your next POTA/SOTA operation, please consider what Michael Martens (KB9VBR) calls his "Frankentenna." The antenna consists of several left over parts from other antennas. Despite the mixture of parts from other projects, this easily-assembled antenna works remarkable well. This antenna is suitable for both field and home use. If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-axDUs-0Yg.
