Hi! to all and also to KK4IXE & IZ5ZCO
My favorite and the very best for me is the End Fed Half Wave
See the link: https://www.hyendcompany.nl/antenna/multiband_40201510_m#main
It is in The Netherlands, and it is the best solid construction, for any model you can see on the site
the standing wave curves.
Mine is the 40-20-15-10 meters. All of these babds are below 1:5 to 1 thru 1:1
The balun is 64:1 it is installed at 3 meters offf the ground near a window, and the end (wire ) is attached at 30 feet a top a flagpole mast.-
I use another one for portable operation (POTA, Parks on the air) during summer months,
I keep the balun attached with one bungee cord, on pik-nik table , and the end is at 22 ft high of my telescopic fiberglass mast .
I used this one with another fiberglass mast of 33 ft high without any differences.
and always my balun fixed on the table. No differences .
Check the web site, for more models multi-bands or mono band.
Customer service iis A1 shipping via Fedex, A1 5 days from Holland to Quebec, Canada
