Explaining End Feed Half Wave Theory and How to Calculate Antenna Lengths

Post author By admin
Post date February 18, 2023

I explain the basics of the End Feed Half Wave (EFHW) Antenna, and how i calculate the lengths of my antenna for my targeted bands. I also go over some harmonics and how this can be used to combine a couple of bands on a single antenna.

ARRL Band Plan – http://www.arrl.org/band-plan
Antenna Formula – https://www.electronics-notes.com/articles/antennas-propagation/dipole-antenna/length-calculations-equation-formula.php

Math Notes:
Target bands
10M = 29
15M = 21.325
17M = 18.139
20M = 14.25
40M = 7.2125

cut
Magic Number (468) feets
17M = 25.8, 25′ 9.6"
20M = 32.84, 32′ 10.08"
40M = 64.88, 64′ 10.56"

Elements going to cut:
17M = 25.8, 25′ 9.6"
20m = 7.04, 7′ .48"
40M = 32.04 32′ .48"

The Power Struggle: High vs Low Power for Ham Radio

Post author By admin
Post date February 18, 2023

There is this rumour going around that 2,000W amplifiers are a total waste of time. You are missing a HUGE point. The ability to handle high levels of output without overheating needs thinking about. So why settle for a low-powered gear that melts under the stress of continuous-duty modes like FT8 or and RTTY? I happen to love my Acom 2000 for the durability and performance.
