This is the full build and test of my vertical ham radio antenna for 40m. According to the modelling, this should deliver around 4-5dB of extra forward gain to USA from England. The reflector is tuned at 6.8MHz and the Driven at 7.05MHz. Ideally, both of these should be higher up the band. I would like to see 6.9Mhz and 7.15MHz but at the time of writing this description, I am yet to do that – however I think it worked well. We will do a live-stream dedicated to this and I will put a link in the description as soon as that is live. See what you think and let me know if you have built a similar system.
