If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhiUf3IQA9A&ab_channel=DavidCasler This is post 2413 in a continuing series of simple ham radio antennas. In this video, David Casler (KE0OG) compares several popular wire antennas worthy of being your main station antenna. These antennas include: A homemade dipole MFJ-2010 (Off Center Fed Dipole) MFJ-17754 (40m-20m) trapped dipole Alpha Delta DX-EE (40m-10m) trapped/fan dipole My Antenna (80m-6m) end-fed dipole. Here are some of Dave's observations and comments: Let's look at all five wire antennas considered for inclusion in the HF reference station (see https://dcasler.com/reference/ ). These include a homebrew 40m dipole, the MFJ-2010 OCFD, the MFJ-17754 40/20 trapped dipole, the Alpha Delta DX-EE fan/trapped dipole, and the MyAntennas.com EFHW-80-10.
