AWESOME 80-METER OCFD – 7 BANDS FROM THIS BIZARRELY MAGIC ANTENNA

A practical 7-band antenna designed by KK7MA

This has become my favorite antenna for camp trips and Field Day. Due to its offset design it can also be a great solution for getting the feed point where you need it on small lots within city limits.

Hung in a mostly horizontal fashion, this antenna tunes up throughout the 80M, 40M, 20M, 17M, 12M, 10M, & 6M bands using only the internal tuner of most modern transceivers.

Lucky 5-Band Vertical 160-30

On my way out to the shack, I had to stop and admire the J-pole mounted to the top of my 45′ mast. Of course, I then had to ask myself why I never connected an analyzer to the mast.

The VNA results were quite surprising! Better than 3:1 SWR on 160M, 80M, 60M, 40M, and 30M!
