which is better, my old 3 ele parasitic vertical antenna with 300 radials, or my new 1 ele elevated antenna, with only 4 radials. What a surprise i got testing these ants, and some results not found here, which are not in the handbook. Thanks to the station master/xyl/ wife , for her encouragement for more ants equals more enjoyment.

    Why not just tie a knot in the radials and the radiating element wire coming out of the box? It would then require only one hole per wire to be drilled and would provide the benefits of simplified routing and a box that would be easier to make weatherproof. The only thing I can think could be a problem with this method is the introduction of a small, parasitic induction created by the loop in the knotted wire, but at HF frequencies and with such a small knot, I can’t imagine that any such induction would be consequential.

    Great video. The low angle take off of a ground plane antenna will often compete with a Yagi beam. I worked Australia from here in Florida with only five watts SSB using a simple ground plane hung from a fifty foot pine tree. I have also worked hundreds of stations from all over the world using one hundred watts. It is the very low takeoff angle from a ground plane that makes the difference with DX. Going one step up, phase two ground plane antennas with a switched piece of coax to be able to select a direction and add some gain.All the very best from Florida, USA. I will look for you on the bands, Dave, N2SN.

    Great video. I have made a similar vertical antenna made from a 24 foot painter’s extension pole that is resonant on 20m. The first section is fiberglass and about 2.5 m long. The 2 extension sections are aluminum and combined are about 15.5 feet. I use four 5 meter radials that slope from 6 foot to ground level. SWR is good and I have made contacts to all Europe and as far south as southern Chile from here in the SE USA. Also it is a very quiet antenna. I can also feed it with a 64:1 Unun and use it for 15 and 10 meters successfully. Thanks for the excellent video. KQ4VGE.

    Hi Brian, In 1955 as a child in Sumner 100 yards from the beach with a crystal set with a beadspring aerial aerial and headphones under the pillow so Mum thought I was asleep, I listened to many a nightime US crime serials from 3ZB. But, please tell me if you think your signals to the UK travel the south longpath or the north route. The reason I ask is that many years ago I read that Invercargal was a great listening area for WW2 German U boat Atlantic transmissions. Your aerials are very interesting. Sure, with a mobile phone or 500 W on a beam - well that's no challenge - but QRP on a thoughtful wire and/radials is a learning and pioneering endeavour. Less is more. 🙋

    Grand job - thank you Brian. Like others I came to you via Peter, G3OJV. I used MMANA-GAL to model the simple quarter-wave vertical with two elevated quarter-wave radials. To be clear, I use modelling for coarse steering and to gain insight. It may be that your recent rainy spell has been your friend. Increasing ground conductivity lowers the angle of maximum radiation (which becomes zero over a conducting plane) and increases gain by up to a few dB (but less than 1 S-point). That noted, I have no explanation for why your simple vertical out-performed your array. Peter gets better results from a horizontal wire at about 7.5 metres up and I can't do any better than share his speculation that something about ZL favours vertically polarised waves. There's just so much not to understand, which is why your cut and try approach takes a lot of beating! 73 Ian G4COL

      Ps ..when I was experimenting with the vertical I tried a reverse beacon with the 4 radials horizontal. I was hitting into all Europe then I altered the angle of the radials more and more in an angle going to the ground the more steep the were the further my signals were heard usa and vks Asia etc so them angles from the radials make a massive difference too plus I put a reflector behind it 😉

    Mate, how.muxh more could you get with a Raised paracitic reflector with radials behind that antenna. Out of interested have you tried coupling your radials between the driven antenna and the paracitic reflector?

    First DX nearly 40 years ago as a U.S. novice was Rochester, NY to Buenos Aires, Argentina using an elevated ¼-wave with four elevated radials on 10 meters. These antennas can be DX gorillas and cost little to erect.

      @@richegan7381 yes ,simple resonant ants can be fantastic . Many seem to think, the more money spent, and more parts to a ant, the better it is going to get real dx. 73 zl3xdj

    Thanks for the great presentation and advice. I've been running a 40 to 10 end fed for a while, and after seeing what you've achieved with so little, I've decided to try your suggested approach. Thanks very much Brian, I look forward to doing as you have done, make comparisons and having fun working DX. John, VK3EMI.

    What is the base/end fed you are using for element?
