Inverted V HF DX Antenna-From a Back Yard

 One of the easiest HF DX antennas you can build is the “classic” inverted V dipole.  The antenna needs only one support and can be erected on a fairly small urban lot.

In this video, Peter Waters (G3OJV) discusses the pros and cons of this versatile HF antenna.  Multiband capability is reached by using a balanced feedline and a sturdy antenna “tuner.”

You can use this antenna for both portable and home station use.

Here are some comments from Peter (G3OJV):

The Inverted V Antenna has a few advantages when it comes to erection and support. But even at low heights it can still perform as a DX antenna. Peter G3OJV, explains why ultra low angle radiation is neither needed or indeed possible in many ham radio back yards. Watch the Video and see how you can enjoy some DX.
