This Ham Radio antenna could be configured as Vertical No-Radials, or a Sloper, or an Inverted L, or whatever shape you like! It needs the ATU with it to cover all bands from 80 to 10m. And it’s only some 12m long! Too good to be true? That’s why it’s my most unusual HF antenna I had so far!

It’s a fun DIY one hour or so project. I claim no originality. The roots of this design go back to 1936 when the article was first published in QST magazine on W3EDP antenna.

This design has got many incarnations during the decades. Jose , VA3PCJ offered the one I describe here.
