My Agile HF DX Antenna - Compact 6-Band 20-6m Antenna 

Thanks Peter for discussing the virtues of the doublet and balanced line. The new hams need to hear this as it's often buried. 73.

Thanks Peter, you made some interesting and new to me points about the old stalwart, doublet. Fashions come and go but there is a lot to be said for this simple and efficient antenna. Best 73.

Thank you, Peter! I always learn from your videos. I'm strictly portable/QRP operations. My QTH, both by design of the building (5-story condominium apartments, U-shaped building, my unit is 2nd floor on the inner courtyard) and its location in the city (blanketed by surrounding structures and power lines: I have to walk up the block to make a cell call some days) is pretty well impossible for radio. I normally operate from a few parks at the southern end of the San Francisco Bay--a few minutes drive from home and nice ground plane on the salt marshes--but only one has room to deploy my 10m - 40m EFHW. I've been looking for a smaller footprint, multiband antenna. I'd been thinking of adding a matching unit to my IC-705 kit: this convinced me to go ahead with the compact, manual ZM-2 tuner from Emtech. As an aside, I've finally begun learning CW. My key is a WT 8 AMP. 73 de KN6NPZ, Daryl, San Jose, California

Thanks for this, I'll have a go at this for my next antenna project.

as always... great practical advice Peter... many thanks...

Thank you Peter, another very interesting video 🙂

For lightweight, and portable doublet operation, I prefer 350ohm line. It is lighter, and easier to work with than the 450ohm line. 73 de KC1DBR

I've always like the idea of a doublet and the X6100. :)

Another interesting video. Would it matter if the length of coax was longer, say 15m

Always interesting.....great knowledge 😅

thx Peter, interessting as always. there is a particular idea for an antenna that I would like you to cover in one of your videos. You heard about quax antennas ( or coil antenna)? it is basiclly a pvc tube and you wind up a full lambda wire on it. e.g. 60m of wire with a copper rod at the top for tuning ( you cut it down) on feed point you put some radials.. . It is not good for the ground wave.. but theoretically it works good for anything else . I know that sounds like a giant dummy load ..But I read some stuff about it.. and it seems to be legit .. anyway.. I really like to hear your opinion about this. '73

Excellent explanations! 73 de WA4ELW in TN 🇺🇸 dit dit 😃

What balun would you recommend that would work from 20 metres to 6 metres with this antenna? As usual another great video, thanks. As a ‘B’ licensed amateur for nearly 50 years operating 2 metres and above with a recent switch to HF the choice of antennas for my small garden becomes critical. :)
