Simple Ham Radio Antennas

Now that Solar Cycle 25 is opening the upper HF amateur radio bands, now may be the ideal time to explore the challenges and rewards of the 10 meter band. In this video from Tim (G5TM), we learn how to design, build, test, and use a halfwave vertical antenna for the 10 meter band. As Tim suggests, this simple antenna occupies a very small space and doesn't require a radial or counterpoise system.
