Multi band end-fed
The antenna is very effective / efficient, it can be mounted as vertical, horizontal or as a sloper, it is low on QRM / QRN, it does not cause any RFI in the cabin, it is very practical to assemble

Realizzazione della EFHWA
E' un semplice L Tuner che adatta l'impedenza dai 50 ohm del RTX ai 2450 dell' End Feed Half Wave Antenna

Remote loading unit for a 160 end fed antenna
I have made three of these remote loading units, two currently in use. . The supply to the motor is via the coax feeder

The end fed wire antenna
A simple matching unit is needed to couple the wire to the rig and a counterpoise is required for some bands

50 MHz preamp Gain 26dB with the BFG135 Preamps for 144 and 430 MHz, for 50 MHz, the BFG135a is a cheap transistor and in my view rather strong. It is not easily damaged by static discharge or RF power. FG connection
