A 5/8 Wave Length Antenna for the 17 meter ham radio band.

by kc4mcq | Posted on


 

The 17 meter (18.068 MHz-18.168 MHz) Amateur Radio Band is perfect for antenna experimentation.

In this video, Colin (MM0ODX) builds, tests, and uses a 5/8 wave antenna for this WARC Band allocation.  The antenna is easy-to-make and performs very well.
