The 20 thru 10 meter dipole is constructed from #10 stranded insulated wire available in most hardware stores

A unique copper pipe fan dipole that Al created and that provides fantastic results

There are a large number of antenna designs for HF, one choice out of many is the fan dipole, the ability to transmit of multiple bands without needing a tuner

Simple Dipoles for now 80 40 20 Fan Use a corner of the house as the center point

One fan dipole was for 75/40/20 and the other was for 20/15, the purpose of building 2 was to have an East-West broadside and a North-South broadside on the dipole

The Fan dipole for 40/20/6m performs well, now it's time to extend the Fan with more bands, i want to add dipoles for 80m, 15m and 10m, making it a resonant antenna for all bands from 80m to 6m except WARC bands

In this experiment were going make a Ham Radio 40m 20m 15m Half Wave Fan dipole

The goal of the antenna project is to come up with an efficient Multi Band Horizontal Dipole antenna that could fit on my small property

I did not model this with any antenna modeling software, i did it the old fashioned way

The multiband fan dipole has always been a popular antenna choice for getting on several bands with a single feedline and without the need for an antenna tuner

The 3 element fan dipole works very well at covering all the bands 80-6 meters, while using a tuner on the non-resonant bands
