Simple Ham Radio Antennas--How to Build a 9:1 UnUn for Ham Radio Antenna. Post #932.


If you're having trouble viewing this video, please insert this title link into your browser search box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfnqQeDLoQ.  An end-fed long wire  coupled to a 9:1 balun and a decent "counterpoise" or ground radial system makes an excellent portable or home-based antenna.  In this video from "Tinker John" (W5CYF), we learn how to build an easy, inexpensive, and lightweight 9:1 UnUn for a long wire antenna. By following the steps shown in this video, you'll have a durable 9:1 UnUn in only a few hours.  This would make an excellent weekend project.
