Extended Double Zepp Antenna. Post 1943.
If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j3BsYbzwvw. If you want your HF dipole to have better gain and some directivity, try this "classic" Extended Double Zepp Antenna. The EDZ antenna described by Stan Gibilisco (W1GV) is a "collinear array of two 5/8 waves in phase", which delivers approximately 3 dB gain broadside to the antenna. According to Stan, construction of this antenna is simple and uses locally available materials. Just follow the diagram provided, and you should have a dipole with a bit more"punch" for your ham station. For more antenna ideas from Stan, please visit his website at: http://sciencewriter.net.
