Got an HF Radio and wondering what kind/type of antenna to use? Join us this month as Dwayne, KA9KQH, shares some of his knowledge and experience with HF antennas.
A recent conversation with a ham returning to the area led to the discussion of HF Radio and living in an apartment or an HOA (Home Owner Association). These living situations can pose a challenge for amateur radio enthusiasts due to space limitations and rules. However, there are still several good antenna options available for HF operations some of this may be permanent and may be temporarily setup on a per use basis. Products and manufacturers mentioned in this areticle are not recommendations, just easy to find examples of that type of antenna.
