Multiband EFHW Base Antenna with 49:1 UnUn
Here's another great multiband EFHW antenna idea from Paul (OM0ET). The key to the success of this antenna is a home made 49:1 UnUn using a FT-240-43 Toroid Core. Make one of these antennas for your home station or for emergency/portable operations.

This antenna is made for 100W RF input power and is 19,129m long. SWR on 40M band is 1:1.1 within the phone section and less than 1:1.5 within a whole band. The 49:1 UNUN box is weather proof and all holes for components I drilled were sealed against the water. On the end of the video you can see also an extr...
