Simple Ham Radio Antennas

In this video, Paul (OM0ET) tests his tape measure EFHW antenna in a nearby forest.  Construction of this antenna was done in part one of this series. If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7O6hOuRixQ Here are some comments from Paul (OM0ET): This is a following video of an experiment https://youtu.be/pEI5K-j1Koo where I used a Tape Measure as an antenna. In this video I was testing this antenna in the forest with a new Xiegu X6100 transceiver and an antenna analyser Mini 1300. I hope you enjoy this video 😊👍 1st PART - https://youtu.be/pEI5K-j1Koo Music by Scott Buckley – www.scottbuckley.com.au #TapeMeasureAntenna #EFHWantenna #QRPantenna ----- Thanks for joining us today.

In part two of his Frame Antenna Project, Paul (OM0ET) completes the antenna and compares it to a Magloop Antenna in his apartment.

In the first part I have built my first Frame Antenna ever ( https://youtu.be/VaPikKiLVD4 ) In this part I wanted to test this Frame Antenna in practice indoors and as a reference antenna I used my famous portable Magloop Antenna UltraLight MC-20 ( https://om0et.com/ultralight-mla-mc-2... ). Outside was very cold and windy winter weather with approx. 0C so I decided to make this video rather indoors. I hope you enjoy the video ;) Best 73, Paul. PS: sorry for poor audio, I didn't had an external lavalier mic. #FrameAntenna #MagneticLoopAntenna #Comparison ------ Thanks for joining us today. Aloha es 73 de Rus...

In part 2 of this magnetic loop antenna project, Mike (M0MSN) completes the capacitor and other additions to properly tune the antenna. Mike also outlines the safety and rf exposure precautions necessary to test the project.

Its all been none stop over the past month or two... let me know in the comments below what you want to see me build and I will try to do it. :) This upload is all about building a MagLoop (Magnetic Loop Antenna) its been a long time in the making but has proven to be worth the wait. this is part 2 of a 2 part upload, in this part I will list all the parts and measurements you will need to copy the antenna you see here.. 5M of 22mm Copper Pipe 1M of 15mm Copper Pipe 4 x 22mm straight connectors 2 x 22mm elbows 2 x 15mm elbows 4 x 15mm straight connectors 60 cm of M5 treaded bar Pack...

Here's part 2 of Callum's (M0MCX) Tilt-Over Vertical Antenna project. In this video, Callum fabricates a "ground tube" and "ground plate" for the tilt-over vertical antenna.

In this video, Mike (M0MSN) completes his magnetic loop antenna.  He lists the components and materials needed for the project and shows us how all the parts fit together.  He finishes the build with some testing and completes a contact once the antenna is in place. Overall, this project is an example of excellent design, construction, and documentation.  Here are a few comments from Mike: So much to do, the construction of a Mag Loop..

In part two of this experimental antenna project, Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW) completes his homemade indoor antenna and conducts a few on-air tests. Radio amateurs living indeed-restricted housing (HOAs/CC&Rs) should find the video interesting. Here are a few comments from Kevin: Had an idea. So here I am building a proof of concept rough prototype. Part two is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDSQk...

In part 2 of this delta loop antenna video, Gil (RadioPreppers.com) deploys the 30M delta loop, makes final adjustments, cuts wire to the proper length, and attaches the 4:1 BALUN.  Here are some comments from Gil: "Part 1: https://youtu.be/F1wLSUVBPMI This time I cut my wire to the correct length and successfully deployed my delta loop antenna for 30m. The 4:1 BALUN turned out to be the best matching option. Great performance, but not as easy to set up as anticipated. The delta loop is probably best for 6 to 20m operations.
