If you want an easy-to-build 40 meter antenna suitable for both home and field use, you can't beat the folded dipole. Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW) tackles this project with his usual down-to-earth enthusiasm and creativity. You won't need expensive materials or excessive time to design, build, test, and use this antenna. Here are a few comments from Kevin: In all the years I've been playing radio, I've never built a folded dipole. Boy have I been missing out! These are amazing performers.
