Build a 40 meter loaded coil in 15 minutes.

Here's a fairly simple project that will expand the coverage of your HF wire antenna.

According to Simon (VA7BIX), you can build this handy antenna accessory in about 15 minutes, provided you have some basic tools, a good "junk box", and a few miscellaneous parts.

Simon takes you step-by-step through the entire assembly process. He provides a complete parts list for the project.

Whether $5.00 (USD) is your price point depends on just how much you must pay for parts you don't have. Nonetheless, this is an interesting project which will increase your knowledge of antennas.
