Thanks to VE3BF for uploading this informative, well-produce video on how to make an efficient long wire antenna for radio amateurs. If you follow the steps outlined in this video, you'll have an excellent HF antenna suitable for both home and portable us. Here are some notes that will help you with this project: "A DYI long wire antenna project using a 9:1 un un. Wire chart: http://www.dxsupply.com/produktfiler/...

In this video, Denis shows us how to make an efficient, inexpensive, and simple HF long wire antenna for both home and portable use. The key to Denis's long wire antenna is a 9:1 UnUn which solves much of the antenna-feed line mismatch found in such antennas.  A good antenna transmatch (i.e. "tuner") and a simple ground radial or counterpoise system will improve the performance of this antenna. Denis does a good job of explaining the concept, construction techniques, and tuning of this antenna.
