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.
Link to the modelling is here:

If you liked this video you can see more like it here:
We’re waiting to do the "All This Light" show until Sunday. This is just to let you know that.
David and Gary review a Netflix series that has a whole lot of radio in it: "All the Light We Cannot See," based on a book by the same name. It’s set in WWII, in a coastal French town, and involves a clandestine shortwave broadcaster and the German radioman assigned to track her down. And of course there’s a love story.
Like most general media, they take a lot of shortcuts with the technology. We’re not upset… we’re amused. It’s fun to see how they handle radio in a series that is so dependent on it.
Then we use a demo from Helge LA6NCA to show you how it’s really done. We shortened Helge’s video from 16 minutes down to 6. Here’s a link to the original:
