Dave, KB2UBO, has two questions… One about Whether a ZS6BKW could/should be used in an inverted V? Another about Wheather to crimp or solder connectors? Read more

“Rolf, KE1Y, has a EFHW 80 – 10 and it’s wire has broken near the loading coil. He wants to know if there is a better way to have the loading coil so it would be so likely to break and Dave’s view of the EFHW.” Read more

Jim Heath W6LG shows what happened to RG8X that had 1500 applied. Watch the subsequent episodes for more information about coax. Read more

Ben, K0ABR, simply asks Is resonate better than non resonate antenna? Read more

Gordon, KO4OCO, in reference to Dave’s 40 meter dipole video, he asks how the actual connection between the coupler and the antenna wire was made? Read more

Here we take a look at building a short, loaded dipole for 20 Meters, 14 MHz. In fact, this is going to be half of a 2 element yagi for the 20M band. Read more

“An HP model 3200B VHF Oscillator and ENI model 5100-L NMR RF Broadband Power Amplifier provide a 300 MHz signal to a half-wave dipole antenna. The voltage variation along the length of the dipole transmitting antenna is made evident by touching one end of a 8-Watt fluorescent lamp. A copper rod of the same length […] Read more

“Kyle, W0AAV, is wondering if there is an optimal angle to put his vertical antenna or is the Take off angle not really important or is is more of a theory than practical.” Read more

“I’ve had my DX Commander All Band vertical in the air for about 6 months now and I wanted to show how the antenna has faired over the Australian summer and now coming into winter.” Read more
