Antenna Tuning: 80 vs 40 Meters Explained Simply

Antenna Tuning: 80 vs 40 Meters Explained Simply

We explain antenna tuning for 80 and 40 meters. If our antenna resonates lower, it needs to be shorter to resonate higher in the band. Longer means lower, shorter means higher. Initial tuning will clarify this concept. #antennatuning #80meters #40meters #hamradio #radioantenna #swr #antennaresonance #radiocommunication #shortwave #amateurradio
