This is post 2114 in a continuing series of simple ham radio antennas. In part two of his Random Wire antenna project, Paul (OM0ET) finishes the 9:1 balun and proceeds to test the complete antenna system on the air.  Here are some of Paul's observations: "This is the following video of the Home made Random Wire Antenna with 9:1 UnUn. I did make a few modifications on it. Used enclosure/box source link: https://www.tme.eu/en/katalog/#id_cat...

This part 2 of Paul's (OM0ET) Random Wire Antenna using a homemade 9:1 UnUn.  In part 1, Paul reviewed the general theory and construction steps needed to make this valuable accessory for random length wire antennas.  In part 2, Paul makes a few minor adjustments based on a few tests conducted at his shack.  The result is an attractive, functional, and portable UnUn suitable for home, portable, or emergency use.  As with most random long wire antennas, be sure to use a good ground radial or counterpoise system along with an antenna transmatch (i.e. "tuner").
