If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AjsRoajjO8 This well-made video tutorial from Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW) is part one of a four-part series on the design, construction, tuning, and use of a homemade HF vertical antenna.  Part one of this series discusses the design and plan of the HF vertical, while part two shows how to build the 9:1 UnUn and 1:1 current balun used for the antenna.  Kevin does an excellent job of taking us step-by-step through the entire design and planning process.  Subsequent videos will refine the design and show us how to get on the air with this simple, effective antenna.
