If you need an efficient, low radiation angle DX antenna, please try this end fed design from Alex (VK2PRC). Alex does a good job of merging antenna theory with practical application in this detailed video tutorial. If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0LkXnEZ0Nk This is post 2751 in a continuing series of simple ham radio antennas. Here are some comments from Alex: A complete step by step guide for, making and tuning a 20 Meter HWEF vertical antenna including impedance matching coupler. If you are unable to make one for yourself, email me and I'll make one for you. I am now also offering a more efficient coupler design that incorporates a 20M HWEF and a 1/4 wave ground plane 40M antenna feed point in the one box. See my second video in this series or Contact me for details. NOTE: 1mm enameled wire MUST be used, NO other size!!!!!!! The common mode toroids are FT114 core mix 43 M
