The LKJ Wednesday Night Special Antenna - 80m Dipole

By K5LKJ

The LKJ Wednesday Night Special Antenna, designed by John Whiteman K5LKJ, is a compact 50-foot coil-loaded dipole for 80-meter operation, ideal for space-limited hams in residential areas. Using two 1-inch diameter PVC coils with 87 turns of #16 magnet wire each—placed 10 feet from the center—it tunes to 3.910 MHz for local nets like BVARC Rag Chew. Constructed with #14 wire, ceramic insulators, and Mini-8X feedline, it handles 1000W, performs well at low heights for NVIS, and requires a tuner for bandwidth. Collaborative tuning by club members ensured success.
