Small, cheap, efficient vertical antenna for 40m.


If you can't erect a full-sized 1/4 wavelength vertical antenna for the 40 meter Amateur Radio Band, please try this linear loaded vertical from Colin (MM0OPX).

Colin says this modified vertical can match the performance of a standard 1/4 wavelength vertical antenna.

This antenna can find a place at your home station or in the field for portable operations.

Here are some comments from Colin (MM0OPX):

Demonstration of a linear loaded 1/4 wave vertical amtenna that shows (at least) in modeling that it is as efficient as a full size 1/4 wave. What do you think? Let me know in the comments below.
