Simple Ham Radio Antennas

  If you need a little more "punch" for your 2 meter signals, please try this vertical extended double zepp antenna from Australian radio amateur Peter Parker (VK3YE). While the design is a bit unusual, it works remarkably well, including good performance on the 6 meter amateur radio band. Peter does a good job of assembling this antenna and shows you how common, readily available materials can be used to make a truly outstanding VHF antenna.

Thanks for joining us today. Aloha es 73 de Russ (KH6JRM). Here are a few comments from Peter (VK3YE): A very simple but very good omnidirectional vertical antenna for VHF FM simplex and repeaters. But that's not all. What is it? It's a extended double zepp antenna for 2m. And it does 6m as well. Watch to find out how easy one is to build.

  The current solar cycle (25) is now favoring higher HF bands, including 10 meters.   Why not try a new antenna to take advantage of improved propagation on this popular amateur radio band? In this video, Tim (G5TM) show us how to build a simple, efficient delta loop antenna for the 10 meter band.  The antenna is easy to make, fairly quiet, and modest in cost.

Here are a few comments from Tim (G5TM). With 10 metres opening up much more regularly, its a good time to think about getting an antenna up. Verticals and dipoles do very well. But what about a Delta Loop? And should this be Vertical or Horizontal? Connect with my channel by subscribing and commenting. Transcript Follow along using the transcript.

  (AG6 Here's an interesting Dipole Antenna that may be worth building. In this video, Stuart Sheldon (AG6AG) discusses the set-up, construction, and installation of a Broadband Butterfly Terminated Dipole Antenna for his office space.

  A good, basic review "on antenna lengths, feed point impedance, and which balun or unun to use...." Walt (K4OGO) does an excellent job of "demystifying" feed point impedance and the proper use of baluns and ununs. This video makes an excellent reference source for any antenna experimenter.
