Another little gem ,Peter, done with quiet, laid-back, logical delivery. As a new ham your videos are very helpful. You never assume greater knowledge on my part than I actually possess and your calm presentation helps me to realize that I can do things like this. It's always a pleasure to see what you have up your sleeve next. Tim Desmond K3LSU
Hi Peter. I have only been licenced 6 months (M7) this is the first HF antenna that I have built, and used this video as a guide. It is mounted horizontal in my loft due to space restrictions but i made my first overseas contact on it and worked a station in Barcelona on my first attempt. Very happy, many thanks π
Good job Peter! I've built all of the small multiband antennas you've presented on YouTube and they work well! I especially like the 40m mid loaded coil EFHW with the base loaded 80m resonator!
Peter, thank you for this, well described without being too exact, as everyone's environment is different. It forced me to learn some principles.......It has been a productive weekend and now able to work 20m & 40m. Have enjoyed many of your other videos as well.
Thanks Peter, I wholeheartedly agree, experimentingwith antenna's is great fun. Is a bit of a dark art, as it often results in an unexpected outcome, but fun nonetheless ;)
Hi Peter, Thanks for another great video. You often mention type 43 material but I wondered what the real difference is between that and the type 61 and 31 materials? I know mu and all that "other magnetic stuff" is a bit different but does it really matter say in the 160-6m bands?
Excellent as usual! Thanks. Could you suggest an additional coil + length of wire to add 80M to this? Would that be feasible? I'm thinking of throwing a line up in a tree and hanging instead of using a pole while out hiking/camping. Having 20+40+80 would be ideal.

Here is a simple antenna you can make from wire that covers the two bands 20m and 40m. Peter G3OJV gives full details.
