Simple Ham Radio Antennas

Thanks to Jeff Glass (KK9JEF) for this creative approach to operating from a restrictive antenna location.   Jeff uses some steel wire, a 64:1 balun, and a few other commonly available pieces to create an effective antenna for urban radio amateurs.

Impossible you say? With the right End Fed Half Wave components and some crafty attachment points, this ham radio antenna fits the bill great! A 64:1 UnUn, two support halyard setups, and some camouflaged coax cable let me put up my first proper antenna at my urban apartment QTH.
