Simple Ham Radio Antennas

Low Band antennas (80m/160m) require lots of room for peak performance.  Is it possible to get decent performance by using linear loading of an inverted L or some other antenna? In this video, Callum (M0MCX) explores several ideas for compact low band antennas.

Perhaps linear loading an inverted L might do the trick, although the bandwidth might be tight - and the impedance might not be perfect either. Anyway, we'll see. HEY!

Operating the 80 meter or 160 meter amateur radio bands from a small urban lot presents a difficult challenge to most radio amateurs. In this video, Callum (M0MCX) discusses several ways to get on those bands without losing too much antenna efficiency.   According to Callum, linear loading can help you operate on the lower HF bands without much trouble. Here are some of Callum's comments: Inverted Ls do work for these low bands but what if you don't even have that amount of space?

In this video, Callum McCormick (M0MCX) discusses how to design, build, test, and use compact antennas for the 80/160 meter amateur radio bands. Callum does a good job of describing his experimental linear loaded inverted L antenna--something which is easy to build and fits into an urban lot. Thanks for joining us today.
