This is the long version of my portable homebrew half-wave end-fed antenna.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Made from
|
|
|
|
|
[lightweight Sotabeams antenna wire](https://www.sotabeams.co.uk/antenna-wire-lightweight-100m/)
|
|
|
|
|
and used with a bought [49:1 Un-Un from
|
|
|
|
|
Moonraker](https://moonrakeronline.com/us/49-1-end-fed-half-wave-transformer-1).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The antenna only weights about 170g, the Un-Un adds another 75g. I usually use
|
|
|
|
|
a homebrew choke that adds another 50g to the antenna system for 80m. In total
|
|
|
|
|
this antenna weights 295g.
