I built a military TEFV Antenna for HF Ops

 If you need a broadband, multiband HF antenna with excellent “directivity” then the military-based Terminated End Fed Vee Antenna” is for you.

In this video, Walt shows how to design, build, test, and use this fascinating HF antenna.  This antenna is easy to deploy and is perfect for portable operations.

Here are some comments from Walt (K4OGO):

Salty Walt uses a 100-foot piece of wire in a field in Portsmouth, Virginia, to construct and test a broadband TEFV antenna. The setup is designed for low takeoff angles on the 10-meter band and includes a 600-ohm terminating resistor. Field tests demonstrate performance across multiple bands.
