One of my favorite DX antennas is the "classic" Half Square. This antenna consists of two vertical 1/4 wavelength radiators fed in phase.
In this video, Chuck (KK6USY) shows us how to design, build, test, and use this effective DX antenna. Chuck says you will be surprised at the capabilities of this simple monoband antenna.

Here are some comments from Chuck (KK6USY):
In this videoI show how I make your own DIY 20m Half Square antenna with brackets I made on my 3D printer. Can’t put up a really high horizontal antenna for 80-meter DXing? Maybe the vertically
polarized “Half-Square” might bethe antenna for you.
