Building a multi-band dipole antenna

Image
Here's a simple multi-band dipole antenna (40-20-17-and 10 meters) that can be built in a few hours with locally available materials or "junk box" spares. Bob (KK4DIV) does an excellent job of taking us step-by-step through the design, building, and testing phases of this good, basic antenna.

An easy project I was able to tackle in one day. Calculations for the wire lengths can be found easily online. I used a program called N2IMF antenna I downloaded from hamuniverse.com that will assist in dipole wire length. Thanks for joining us today. Aloha es Russ (KH6JRM).
