Cheap 10 Meter Homebrew Vertical Antenna

[David Tanks]

  Want a cheap, fairly easy-to-build, end-fed Zepp (J-Pole) for 10 meters, that you could pull up into a tall tree, and have a great signal with? Then check out this YouTube and pdf of one.

Hi David

I made one of these about 10 years ago, neat and simple antenna to make.

The 450 ohm window line I used did alter the SWR when it got wet. I was going to make

another one using homemade 4 inch wide ladder line but I never did. I still have this one.

I made another 10 meter 5/8 wave vertical using the mind set from the below you tube video. It to worked very well

but the coaxial cap a the top of the antenna kept pulling apart when I had high winds. I believe it is a 2 or 3 part video.

For what it is worth, I’d encourage everyone with the time to give 10 meters a try. There has been a fair amount of activity, both domestic and abroad the last several months. Monday evening I was calling CQDX on the grey line and worked back to back JA stations. Easy armchair copy both ways. This was on CW with 200 watts and a homemade ground mount multiband vertical.
