Multiband Antennas: Everything That Actually Works

Multiband Antennas: Everything That Actually Works


In this video, I walk through all the tricks, traps, and tools we use to get multiband performance from our wire antennas – whether you’re working from a tiny backyard or a large site.

We’ll talk:

– How traps really work (and their downsides)
– Fan dipoles and verticals (and why they’re so effective)
– Foldback techniques for 40/15m matching
– Why loops are naturally multiband
– And whether smart tuners are magic or just a box of trigs!

Whether you’re building a homebrew fan dipole, eyeing up a Delta Loop, or wondering if a DX Commander is just "visual physics" in disguise — this one’s for you.

🔗 Mentioned builds:
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLGtz5Px6g0
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4WzIgCvAbQ

Let me know in the comments what *your* multiband setup looks like – commercial or DIY. 73!

01:49 End Effect
03:05 The 40m/15m Trick

09:27 Easy to understand antennas

Real World Comparison of HT Antennas to a Unity Gain Antenna

Real World Comparison of HT Antennas to a Unity Gain Antenna

HT Antennas VS Unity Gain Antennas

I have a friend, I’ll call him Tuje (pronounced Tooge). He has decades of experience in commercial VHF/UHF radio communications. He wants to share his knowledge, but he also wants to remain anonymous. I offered to host his videos on my channel. So here is another video in an ongoing series of helpful videos, primarily relating to VHF communications, but certainly not limited to that topic.
