How to make a doublet antenna for ham radio HF bands.

by kc4mcq | Posted on


 If you need a simple, effective HF antenna that covers several amateur radio bands, please consider building a "classic" doublet antenna.

In this video, Callum (M0MCX) shows us how to build this useful HF antenna.  If you have a decent antenna "tuner" and some balanced feed line, you have already made most of this antenna.  Just follow Callum's excellent video and you'll soon have a multiband HF antenna that won't break the bank.  And the best part is you've made it yourself and gained some fundamental antenna design knowledge.

Here are a few ideas from Callum (M0MCX):

Ideally suited to operators with a good quality ATU system, a doublet offers an all-band-solution to HF but will need re-tuning each time you change bands. Enjoy. Callum. DX Commander.
