I know that the length of an antenna depends on the wavelength of the frequency it's trying to receive. A higher frequency needs a shorter antenna and vice versa. I can see that with a high frequency like 500 kHz, an antenna should be around 28,000…

I use a hex beam to operate from 20 meters to 6 meters with amazing results. I wish to operate 40 meters and 80 meters also, and can only really install an end fed long wire due to my installation location. Recently I installed an end fed long wire…

So multiples (by 3x-5x) of full wave lengths long? It's my understanding that you can build an antenna that is 802.28 feet long and it's naturally resonant WITH GAIN on all the usual Field Day frequencies? I'm hunting more information on this. We…

I have a hex beam antenna that gets me onto bands from 20 meters to 6 meters very well. I wish to have an antenna that gets me onto 40 meters at night very well also. Recently I purchased an end fed long wire antenna with a 9:1 unun. This one :…
