Ultimate Fence Antenna

by kc4mcq | Posted on


 

If you have a wooden fence surrounding your property, why not use it to support the "Ultimate Fence Antenna?"

In this video, Simon (VA7BIX) shows us how to build a "Fence-tenna" that covers Amateur Radio bands between 160 meters and 10 meters.  

The construction is easy and provides outstanding NVIS (near vertical incidence skywave) propagation out to about 300 miles (486 kilometers)--perfect for local, state and regional nets or for emergency use.
