Shawn has a very different installation of his feedline to the StepIR Antenna. The installation is mostly about noise reduction. Shawn does a...
As I look around the Internet for information on building EFHW UnUns, I see the ratios of 49:1 and 64:1 appear quite often. I get that these are...
WSPR is a great tool to look at and measure propagation on the various ham radio bands. In this video I test my EFHW (end fed half wave) antenna...
Hi all, first time posting on these forums. I'm looking to build an end-fed half wave (EFHW) antenna as my first HF antenna -- hopefully before...
Hi everyone, I have been changing my antenna configuration a bit for use with my Yaesu FT 450 D. I use an end fed half wave HFedz antenna. It is...
I have this weird problem, I connected a new EFHW antenna, EFHW-8010-2K-Plus, to my Icom IC-7300. When measuring the SWR, the IC-7300 SWR meter...
