In this video, I show a Ham Radio Antenna that I built for small spaces. The antenna is referred to as a "Shorty Forty" which is a shortened End Fed Half Wave Antenna for 40 Meters (EFHW).
Here is the video where I built the Induction Coil: https://youtu.be/6WXp29yxCEM

Yes, This is an earbud review. I’ve tried several and these seem to work good, are compatible with several of my owned ham radios and won’t break the bank on almost any budget. They can even save your marriage. How? your wife won’t wake up to the sound of HF in the morning and scream at you to turn down the radio.

I’m often asked what equipment I use to create the videos. The devices include the Panasonic DMC-G7 camera, Panasonic HDC-TM90 video camera, GoPro Hero2 HD camera, Tascam DR-05 audio recorder, Audio-Technica ATR-3350 lapel microphone, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W560 digital camera, the Kodak Zi-8 video camera, my iPhone 5S. Software used: CyberLink PowerDirector 17 on an HP Gaming Pavilion, also using Smoothdraw 4.0.5.0, FastStone Image Viewer 5.3, FastStone Capture 8.0, Audacity 2.1.1, LibreOffice 5.0.4.2, and Ink2Go 1.7.2. You can see how my studio is set up by viewing https://youtu.be/wFSQ8vtNA5A.
This one is for the CW fun. Over half of this video is sending and receiving Morse Code. Getting to this SOTA activation of Casa Grande Mountains High Point W7A/PN-125 was a relaxing urban hike on the outskirts of the Casa Grande community. This is where many community members go to get a little outdoor exercise. It was a fun leisurely day just playing radio without much else to worry about.
Mike K8MRD is back in 2021 to talk about his favorite portable antennas and their PROS and CONS! Sub to Mike, he is awesome! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjETc3psT6i7B5z6S1Y3ojQ
