Thanks to Michael Jordan (KW3KW) for this excellent tutorial on End-Fed Halfwave Antennas-perhaps the best choice for emergency and portable operations.

Michael discusses the EFHW in great detail, showing how theory blends with practical use.

The EFHW is simple, fairly inexpensive, and adaptable for various configurations.

Here are some comments from Michael (KW3KW:

If you could only select one HF Ham Radio Antenna, for both your base unit and go-bag, the End Fed Half Wave Antenna is your choice. I will explain what it is, how to set it up, different configurations, various manufacturing options. I will also go deeper into what is a NVIS Antenna and why you need it. It is a great option when using the EFHW Antenna. Make sure to check out all my videos on Ham Radio for Beginners. Key Links Resonate Vs Non-Resonate Antenna: https://palomar-engineers.com/non-res...
