Join me as I make a very simple, yet effective antenna for the 20m amateur band made entirely of RG-58 coax and it doesn't use radials, so a bonus if you haven't got the space to lay any out on the ground. There is an air-wound or ferrite choke option to this design.
Having had success with the same antenna on 15m (21MHz), I scaled-up the design for 20m amateur band. This video shows a step-by-step simple build process, analyser tests and then on-air real world testing with some successful DX contacts on what was a very flat band.
The 15m Build & Test video can be seen here: youtu.be/5U3wrSgtd9Q
This is one of many ham/amateur radio related videos on my channel, which is all about simple practical projects and operating, both in the shack and out portable & mobile. If you like what you see, please give it a like 👍🏻 and subscribe to the channel if you're not already, and remember to hit the bell 🔔 so you’re notified of new videos as soon as they're published and you don't miss out.
Thank you for watching 🙂
