Shortened 40m Rotary Dipole Antenna
A rotatable 40-meter dipole antenna designed and constructed to fit within backyard constraints. The project utilized two fishing poles attached to a fiberglass center pole, resulting in an easy-to-build, lightweight, and cost-effective antenna. Essential materials included fishing rods, a center support pole, mast support, and basic tools. Linear loading was implemented to achieve the necessary length for optimal performance. The antenna, which proved effective during the contest, is ideal for field days and additional contest bands. Assembly and installation were straightforward, showcasing the antenna's practicality and efficiency.
