Helically wound multiband vertical antenna-portable in Poland

Image
Walt (K4OGO) came up with this helically wound vertical antenna while he operated as SP/K4OGO in Poland.   Other than a narrow bandwidth, this antenna provided multiband capability at a modest cost.  The key to this antenna design was the 9:1 balun used in the feed line.

I had amazing results. ----- Thanks for joining us today. Aloha es 73 de Russ (KH6JRM).
