Simple Ham Radio Antennas

Now that solar cycle 25 is underway, HF propagation should show some improvement over the next few years. This would be a perfect time to build an inexpensive, basic 10 meter ground plane antenna.  Ten meter operations can be quite exciting once propagation supports signals in the 28 MHz Amateur Radio Band. In this video from Dave Tadlock (KG0ZZ), we get a thorough step-by-step tutorial on how to design, build, and test a 10 meter ground plane antenna. Even if propagation is weak, you can use 10 meters for local nets and mobile operations. Here are some of Dave's comments: A 10 meter ground plane antenna that can be mounted on a mast or used as a ground mounted vertical antenna.

Here's another great, innovative antenna project from Dave Tadlock (KG0ZZ). In this video, Dave takes us step-by-step through the design, construction, testing, and use of a simple 10 Meter Ground Plane Antenna.  Even though propagation on 10 meters is poor most days, the band will support good local contacts--perfect for informal nets and ragchews.
