Building a DIY Multi Band Dipole for HF
In this video I go through the steps to build a very simple, inexpensive multi band dipole antenna for the 40 and 20 meter amateur radio bands which can be used either at your home or in the field for offgrid emergency communications. Additionally, this DIY wire dipole antenna will also work on the 15, 12, 10 and 6 meter bands if your radio has an ATU or you have an external tuner. This exact DIY Dipole Antenna has allowed me to work and confirm 26 countries, all 50 U. S. states and every continent. Parts List: 1ea. 1G 1, 2 PVC Box 1ea. Cover 1ea. SO239 Connector 4ea. 3, 8 eyelet crimp or solder electrical connector 1ea. Buddy Pole Adapter 2ea. 3, 8x24 Coupling nut 4ea. 3, 824x1, 2 SS Cap screw 2ea.
