Multi-band Wire Antennas

Build notes first published by amateur station AC8GY and kept here as an archived project write-up. First-person passages are the original builder's. This site is not run by AC8GY. See the disclaimer before building.

Presentation given by AC8GY to the Milford Amateur Radio Club (MARC) on Nov. 10, 2011. The objective was to compare several popular center-fed wire antennas that cover multiple bands. The popular G5RV, ZS6BKW, dipole fan, Alpha-Delta DX-CC and a trap dipole are modeled in EZNEC and compared.

The presentation below is slides-only, while the 21 minute video is a nararrated slide presentation. The audio was recorded during the meeting. (Click on either image to open)
