This antenna has been brilliant over the years and is my main go-to for 40m through to 10m. You can follow the original build here; youtu.be/aYLseBPbxng

Join me on a hike with friends. I took my 2m handheld along too to see if I could make any contacts on our lunch stop. Unfortunately, there was an accident with the antenna when a rock fell from a wall and just missed me. A quick fix and I was soon back on the air.

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.

This video shows how anyone can make the basic elements of a paddle key which you can then adapt for your own setup and improve upon. In the first video I made a mock-up to check the design worked and you can see this here: youtu.be/HJV2cT65kuQ
In this video I transfer this design onto a solid base and a give it an on-air test...scary stuff!

This antenna doesn't use radials, so a bonus if you haven't got the space to lay any out on the ground.

Although the transceiver is showing 28.266MHz, I am using a transverter and actually on 432.266MHz.
Girlguiding Patron, HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh attended the contact as part of a visit to promote the engagement and involvement of girls and young women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM subjects).
The contact was with astronaut Sunita Williams, KD5PLB.
