- 20 METER HF Vertical Dipole Radio Rope Antenna
Nothing challenging or complicated about his antenna. Just wrap around 19' of 22 gauge coated wire around 15' of rope. Add 8' of Squiddy ground plane and THAT'S IT! Tune it by cutting or folding the end length to get a remarkable 1:1 SWR. IT WORKS! Just watch to see.
Huge Thanks to VA7BIX for the support and inventing the Squiddy. This will not be as awesome without it.

Awesome antenna build Wes buddy - What a great test... bands 'poor to terrible' and you rocked it! Woohoooo. See ya on the airwaves buddy.
Thanks for watching! Let’s get that Rope to Tarp soon! Go Squiddy!
This is what ham radio is about. Experiment, build and learn. Bravo!
Hey thanks. I’m a very hands on person. Build first then measure after 😀.
well that's creative.. lol awesome Wes.. VE1SK
Thanks Steve. Sell all your antennas and buy some rope and wire. 😀
You might check out the SurvivorCord from Titan Paracord. It's 550 paracord with additional filaments including "a 30 AWG metallic alloy utility wire making it perfect for small hunting snares, HAM radio antennae extensions, and other survival uses."
Oh wow! I’ll check that out. Thanks 👍
mornin Sir - what wattage will that wire support - is it more for qrp ? thankyou
I'm working on a random wire rubber duck. So far the toroids I've been using haven't been behaving as expected but I still have lots to try before giving up and using nonscrap.
One very random antenna, including the core! Love it.
poly rope for electric fence, per made and cheap
650ft for $80 around here. Already have plans 😉
@@MrMudsHamRadioRadioTime mail order for half that
I've used poly twine from electric fence for radials. Cheap and yellow so people see them.
It's a very very floppy rubber duck 😂
😂
Love your channel and your videos Wes! Curious what the rope adds? Couldn't you just pull the wire up in the tree?
Great question. The total length is shortened by winding on the rope. You then don’t need to throw your line as high but at a cost of efficiency of the antenna. It was just a fun project and a start of other projects linked to this set up.
Did u use an antenna analyzer?
Yes I used a nano vna to sweep it during the build to see if it would even work. The sweep result is in the video.
Mornin Sir - like that antenna idea - got ur email today and thankyou - do u do CW at all Sir -- thanks again Brian VE7JYD
Thanks Brian. Sorry CW is out of my brain power at the moment 😀. Hopefully someday. For now I’m going to keep experimenting with radio gadgets.
@@MrMudsHamRadioRadioTime real sorry to bother you - had sumthin go wrong and all my emails were deleted - was the email you sent me re the build ?? if so cud u posible resend it much obliged 73
