EFHW Antenna | Part Two: Which Configuration Works Best?

In this video I take a look at a few different ways to deploy an End-Fed Half-Wave (EFHW) antenna and compare the radiation patterns using modeling software. I go through the Vertical, Sloper, Inverted-V, and Inverted-L to see how each one behaves across the bands.

In Part One I built a simple 49:1. In this video I’m trying to figure out how I want to deploy this antenna and what the patterns look like before taking it to the field.
