Simple Ham Radio Antennas

Here's a nice, simple L-network antenna "tuner" that will complement your QRP operations.  This handy item is perfect for antennas fed with 450-ohm ladder line. Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW) shows us how he reconfigured his basic L-network to fit into a small box for portable use.  This project can be used both in the field and at your home station.

Here's another great ham radio accessory for your shack or for portable operations. In this video, Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW) revamps his original L-network antenna "tuner" and shows us how to fit it into a small box, making it easily portable. Kevin's instructions are clear and easy to follow.  This simple, yet elegant antenna transmatch (i.e. "tuner") is perfect for random wire antennas or for end fed half wavelength antennas.  Make one of these "tuners" for your emergency "go-kit" or for that impromptu mini-expedition to the beach or nearby park.
