Random Wire Antennas Do They Work

追加: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]There's quite a few ham radio operators using random HF end-fed antennas using a 9:1 unun.

[00:00:10]I mean, the word random doesn't create confidence, does it? In my mind, I had a lot of a doubt.

[00:00:17]I mean, I'm used to antennas being precisely measured.

[00:00:21]Being exactly on frequency.

[00:00:23]Not random lengths of wire. That can't be right, can it?

[00:00:28]But, curiosity got the better of me.

[00:00:32]So, about a year ago, I erected a so-called random end-fed HF antenna at my QTH with a 9:1 unun.

[00:00:44]Was I right in my doubts?

[00:00:47]Or was I wrong?
