This is the long version of my portable homebrew half-wave end-fed antenna.

Made from lightweight Sotabeams antenna wire and used with a bought 49:1 Un-Un from Moonraker.

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.
