I'm thinking about wrapping a wire around the perimeter of my roof. Its HOA, so the wire needs to lay directly on the shingles. Transceiver can...
I'm looking at something for a 1:1 or 2:1 balun. I'm wanting to feed my antenna with 300 ohm balanced feed line with a ~148' end fed. I want to...
[ATTACH] To the left, I have my trusty 49:1 balun with 64ft of 20AWG single copper strand insulated wire which was mounted for 3 months. I was...
My friends and I have been getting on 60m on weekday afternoons. I use my 160m one-wavelength loop on its third harmonic and that works very well....
Hi everyone, Some of you might have recalled a previous thread where I was using something called an “EMF hunter“ to detect stray RF in the...
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...
For my set up, I use a long wire end-fed antenna in an inverted L configuration. This antenna has a 9:1 UnUn at the feedpoint which is about 10...
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...
Hi all - this is my first HF antenna, being new to the lower end of the spectrum. I'm hoping to find some help here improving the efficiency of my...
Hi everyone, I am looking for way to create a good grounding system for my HFedz end fed antenna. According to the manufacturer, it is not...
Hello, I live in a plat in a medium sided town SW Ohio, USA (Eastern Timezone). I have a smaller back yard that's 50' x 80'. There's a power...
I am trying to conceive a 1/16 wave vertical for 640m and I was wondering if anyone has heard of such a thing, and if so what would the impedance...
Hi everyone, I have been reading the sticky posts on grounding as I prepare to assemble a counterpoise for my end fed antenna for hf. I am a...
Hey folks... First post here from a long time ham, but one who is brand new to HF (General class licensee). I recently purchased an IC-7200 that...
Here is a video showing the new MFJ end fed HF antenna. What can I say, it works.. I didn't remember to bring my analyzer today, so the next video...
I am trying to build a 9:1 unun for my endfed dipole. I am having trouble with my swr. It is built with a T 200-2 ring and 14ga magnet wire with...
Here is a couple of pictures of what I think may be an end-fed balun--but that's my guess. No markings on the box. All I can tell, there are two...
