End Fed half Wave Ant

[David Douglass]

This talk about end fed halfwaves reminded me of the Fuchs antenna, which is
the multi-band variant of the end fed halfwave. A 40m length of wire acts as
a multiple of 1/2 wave on all bands from 80-10 metres

i.e.

= 1x halfwave on 80M
= 2x halfwave on 40M
= 3x halfwave on 30M

etc etc

A shorter 20m wire can be used on 40, 20, 15 and 10..

The DL QRP club used to supply a kit for the tuning section which also had
an inbuilt LED SWR indicator. The whole set-up (including wire) would fit in
your pocket, and it made a great QRP portable set-up.

Regards

David, VK2NU
