World's EASIEST Multi Band Antenna (Camping, Portable, Emergency)

Image
  Thanks to Simon (VA7BIX) for this simple, effective antenna that goes perfectly with camping or any outdoor activity. All you need is some wire, a spare fishing reel, and a small antenna "tuner."  Antenna losses are minimized because the "tuner" is joined directly to the antenna wire. According to Simon, the antenna can be assembled in approximately 5 minutes once you've modified the "tuner" to hold the reel.

If you need a simple, efficient, and easily made HF vertical antenna, then this video from Adrian ("One Time Pad") will interest you.  The antenna can be made from locally available parts or from your "junk box."  Adrian says "this antenna will work other bands with a tuner/matching unit."  Be sure to ad some extra ground radials for added efficiency.
