Grounding For Amateur Radio
Pounding Grounding Rods for Antenna Mast
Modeling the Simple Inverted Vee Antenna
What can we learn about the Inverted Vee HF single-band antenna from the EZNEC+ model? Lots of things, having to do with height above ground, the amount of spreading, and using a metal pole as a mast.
Let's talk about band scopes and identifying signals
In my mind, these scopes on modern radios are one of the most useful tools. I try to explain exactly what they are showing you and how to visually identify signals on the waterfall.

DIY VHF 2M Jpole antenna out of 450ohm line
In this video I detail construction of a classic DIY antenna using 5' of 450 ohm window line (ladder line), 10' of RG58 coax w/bnc, a leatherman tool, duct tape, and a soldering iron w/flux and solder). Antenna is a 1/2 wave vertically polarized end fed design with a 1/4 wave matching section. Have fun !

EFHW MULTIBAND ANTENNA with 49:1 UnUn home made
I've try to made my multiband experimental version of the Multiband EFHW antenna without traps which will not work only on primary band and on it's harmonics.
Erecting the MyAntennas.com EFHW-8010 End-fed
We erect the MyAntennas EFHW-8010-1K end-fed half wave antenna that covers a small portion of the 80 meter band, plus all of 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, and 10 meters (but not 60m). I also show SWR results, which show this antenna will work with a rig that has a built-in tuner that can tune up to 3:1
End Fed Half Wave Antennas VS Random Length End Fed Antennas
Check out this great video
Here's a few antenna matching devices I've gathered and some experience with the antennas. CAPACITORS ARE 220 PF each and in series.
