My Favorite DX Antenna for HF Ham Radio


 We all have our favorites, be they automobiles, hobbies, music, art, and intellectual pursuits.  

One of the favorite activities of radio amateurs is the building of antennas.  A well-designed, efficient antenna makes time behind the microphone, key, or keyboard an enjoyable experience.

In this video, Walt (K4OGO) describes his favorite DX antenna-a variation of the "classic" End-Fed Halfwave with a 49:1 UnUn.  Walt shows us how this simple, inexpensive antenna can provide hours of enjoyment as you reach out to fellow amateurs across the world.

Walt's EFHW covers 20 meters through 10 meters, making it ideal for portable operations such as POTA and SOTA.  The EFHW performs equally well at your home station.
