I have a 40-meter half-wave antenna with an 80-meter coil up in my small garden I was surprised how well it works. I fed the 49-1 transformer down the end of my garden and ran it up to the main chimney stack via the mast I have up. Thank you Peter,

Hello Peter, I continue to enjoy your videos and have tried many things you have suggested. Recently I installed a home made end fed antenna for the 40, 20, 15, 10 m band. Its not particularly high and in a bit of a random shape to enable me to fit it in a small garden. Today I spoke with VP8LP in the Falkland Islands, this was using my very old Yaesu FT77S and 10 watts, no external amplifier. As this was on the 17m band this morning I used a Vectronics antenna tuner that I purchased off ebay for £75. Whilst many stations use hundreds of watts and massive directional antennas, in the moment I could compete. It felt like a great acheivement, 7879 miles with 10 watts. Thanks again.

Really love your videos! You have a great style of teaching - I have been trying to decide what would be best type of antenna to use on 10m. Here are the choices I am considering: 10 m vertical antenna options 1. Dipole (direct connection to coax) 2. Dipole (using a 1:1 balun) 3. Doublet Dipole (Fed w twin lead+ATU) 4. Doublet (legs and feeder twin lead + ATU) 5. Linear Loaded Doublet (legs shorted + ATU) 6. 3 wire LL doublet (50% shorter + ATU) 7. Coaxial dipole (1/4 dielectric 1/4 coax, choke) 8. Coaxial Bazooka 9. Elevated dipole w 4 ground radials 1/4 wave 10. I Max 2000 (64%, 5.1 dBd gain, 15 degrees) 11. Gainmaster (coaxial capacitors go,tuning stub) 12. Double Bazooka 13. 5/8 wave dipole 14. Off Center Fed Dipole 15. G5RV 16. GOGSF 17. End Fed Half Wave 49:1 18. Random Wire 9:1 19. Delta Loop (horizontal vertical polarization) 20. Collinear 21. Yagi 22. Bobtail Curtain + reflector 23. Vertical w parasitic reflector

I thought you were a bit 'dry' at first Peter but you are clear and to the point. I'm not sure at the transformer end of this or the extra cores for wattage output but the rest is pretty clear. I love the add on video for 80m too with the suggested capacitor experimentation. THIS is what Ive been looking for. I've seen an 80m-10m folded back version inverted V but the balin was up a 7m + pole! I dread to think how you repair this after a storm?

The section of coax from the 49:1 balun to the choke balun acts as a counter poise. That’s why you don’t need to add another one.

I restore old tube am radios and sometimes the capacitors in the if cans have silver mica disease so we take the cans out cut the original mica's out then add a pair to the legs after reinstalling some radio schematics give you the internal capacitance some don't ,most people say just throw a couple of 100pf in there but sometimes the sensitivity hurts what I do is install two adjustable caps do an alignment on the radio then take them out measure them and then put the right mica's in then realign. My question is has anyone tried this on the unun's to see if there is a better match than 100pf on their given antenna configuration?

Hi Peter, I visited your shop back in the 90’s when I first got my licence, I loved the place & wished I could have stayed forever. I’ve just ordered a LDG 49:1 unun and will be trying it out in the next couple of days. I’ve got 10m going up vertical & 10m going to a lower post down the garden. Will it matter if the wire going from the vertical part is not completely horizontal or should I try to match the height with another spider pole down the garden ??? Garry, 2E1FNP

I assume that you're shorting the quarter wave matching section how far up from the short did you need to go to find your 50 ohm position to connect the coax to?

Could you tell me please, I'm surrounded by trees so what's the best way to route my endfed EFHW A: over the trees B: through the trees, C: Round the trees ? and would the trees cause me problems with reception and transmitting (HF) ?, I've not been on a radio (CB days) for 40 years and recently passed my foundation exam. Thanks for reading. BTW Love the channel.
@watersstanton2 жыл бұрын
On HF, all three choices will work. If you pass the antenna through trees it is possible tuning will change when wet etc. So that would be my thrid choice. Hooe that helos. 73 Peter.
@dannystephenson4957 Жыл бұрын
Morning Peter, from your experience with efhw antennas where exactly on the feeder would you place a line isolator? I read so many conflicting comments that it should be placed a quarter wave length from the transceiver end ( my coax is barely a quarter wave long) or at the antenna end or just simply before the feeder terminates to the radio say a foot or so! Is it really that detrimental? Regards Danny
@watersstanton Жыл бұрын
Place it right at the end of the coax before it connects to the transceiver. If you have any external items like ATU or AWR meter, then place it at the shack end just before the coax enters the first of these on the antenna side.

Hi Peter. The 49:1 you built was only a single strand of wire? i thought that the first 2 turns had to be twisted together to form the primary coil of the transformer before going on to wind the secondary turns? or is your shorting wire forming the primary? thanks redders
