Simple Ham Radio Antennas

If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwOATcwHrBo&ab_channel=SurvivalComms This is post 2351 in a continuing series of simple ham radio antennas. If you need an emergency VHF antenna, then this "quick, down and dirty" project using common RG-6 coaxial cable will get you on the air in just a few minutes. In an emergency, RG-6 cable (75 ohm impedence) can be used to feed HF dipole antennas.  Use an antenna "tuner" to drop the SWR (1.5 to 1) a bit. You can find RG-6 at electronics stores, home improvement centers, and neighborhood hardware stores. Here are some general comments from the video's author: The field expedient antenna series continues. A VHF antenna out of RG6 TV coax. duct tape, and sticks. Down and dirty tech to put in the know-how tool box for when all else fails. ----- Thanks for joining us today. Aloha es 73 de Russ (KH6JRM).
