Thanks to Cory (N0ECK) for this quick look at a fan dipole antenna that covers 40-80-160 meters.  If you have a tall tree or other tall support on your property, you may want to try Cory's antenna idea. Cory says he's pleased with the results of this multiband HF antenna. Here are some of his observations: I finally finished the video for the Fan Vertical I put up before the 2015-2016 contest season started. It did very well for the whole winter on 40, 80, and 160 meters. Join the resistance on Twitter: https://twitter.com/resistancehams Or Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/resis...

I've heard of fan dipole antennas, but this video shows something different in the "fan dipole family"--the fan vertical HF antenna. Corey Klumper (N0ECK) of Russell, MN show us how he modified the fan dipole concept into something useful for those of us using vertical HF antennas.  The nicely done video shows us the complete design and assembly process.  Corey says his fan HF vertical covers the 40-80 and -160 meter bands.  He used this antenna successfully in the 2015 contest season.  You may want to build a version of this intriguing antenna for your station.
