5:08 Good choice!
Logical! 🤣
Indeed the best choice!
I'm a 12.4 guy!
Not in a desert or area with with poor ground loss. The Brewster angle is much higher than over good ground. But I am sure you know that. It would be nice to operate a fan vertical on a saltwater swamp or near the sea.
I'm happy with my EFHW. Served me well for years.
Thanks for the video
can I use it for my repeater Icom v100 VHF frequency?
None of these are the "Best" as there really is no such thing. Certainly the best budget antenna is simply some wire. Ultimately the best antenna for in any given situation is the one you can get in the air and use. Any antenna beats no antenna, that is the only rule that is absolutely true
Are you serious, full-bore ham radio man like me--- well I only would have yagi antennas and a couple of towers to hold them up in the air, I have two that are over 80 feet and peak up to 100. You can get in with a multi band vertical but if you wanna really get going, over the years ,like I did, work yourself up to a really big array.
Someday I would love to have a tower and hex beam.
Half the fun of the hobby was I thought, the construction of home brew antenna. The challenge is to build your own and get out transmitting as far as you can...Give it try it actually works!!! If you have money in the later stages of your hobby, then by all means go and buy a corporate antenna, but you're missing a major part of the hobby!!
I agree completely. There is nothing more satisfying than building a new antenna and that first test to see how the audio report comes back. Did it earlier today and I gotta say, that's my favorite part of the hobby. Always learning and getting better and better.
@@sphinxskates Frankly, since we no longer build radio kits, inventing and building antennas is the ONLY part left for innovation and experimentation. IMHO anyway.
My choice goes for h/b wire aerials: wire is cheap.
G4GHB.
I can state that the DX Commander is my favorite!
thanks for sharing!
The best if you can afford it is the steppir
Congratulations on making your robot sound like an old timer ham, but this is plain affiliate marketing and you don't fool anyone. Well, clearly you do fool at least 125 fools.
Antennas which are standing upright as illustrated here are notoriously susceptible to many noises that you cannot get rid of unless you switch to an antenna what you're sitting up in the air horizontally. This guy doesn't know anything because if you want the best antenna for the middle of the HF bands, you must use horizontal aluminum elements that is the proper length.
You can look at a cheap one illustrated in the MFJ /cruhcraft catalog online with the model number Cruhcraft MFJ antennas, model A-3s.... And similar..... Now these antennas are rotatable and need to be sticking out 40 or 60 feet in the air. You could assemble one and lay it out flat over your attic floor, but try to get it pointed north. "Yagi" and "beam" are interchangeable correct terms to refer to antennas.
THERE IS NO BEST ANTENNA.,ITS ALL ABOUT LOCATION,LOCATION,LOCATION.ITS ALL JUNK...WASTE OF MONEY,,LOT OF BULL SHITTERS TALKING ABOUT CRAP THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.WIND BAGS WE CBERS CALL THEM..
