In this video, Josh Nass (KI6NAZ) calls the “Shadow Slot Antennas” one of the “coolest VHF/UHF antenna(s) I have seen in a long time!”
This antenna is a low-profile system that is perfect for “stealthy” operations for Amateur Radio, GMRS, and MURS.
This unconventional antenna is perfect for HOAs or other deed-restricted areas.

If you had to make an emergency antenna with only a few parts you had on hand, could you do it?
That was the issue facing Chuck (KK6USY) on a recent motorcycle trip.
In this video, Chuck shows us how he made a simple, effective antenna from parts he found during his trip.
Depending on what you find in your “junk box”, the cost of a new antenna may be minimal–just use your imagination to save some money, while learning to assemble an antenna from “scratch.”
