Antenna building workshop

Go further with our antenna building workshop!

Attendees were given the opportunity to take part in a QRP end-fed half wave antenna workshop.

What did it involve?

During this workshop, RSGB Board Director, Mark Jones, G0MGX discussed antenna design for the modern noisy urban environment.

This was followed by the respective advantages and disadvantages of balanced and unbalanced antennas and feeders.

Mark then guided attendees through the process of constructing a 49:1 balun for use in an end-fed long-wire antenna.
