An 80-10 end-fed half-wave antenna can be a very good performing part of an HF station. But its performance depends heavily on a well-designed and carefully constructed 49:1 unun, which matches the long wire impedance to within tuning range of operation. But the perfor-mance of an end-fed antenna is also very dependent on height above ground.
This project assembles a 49:1 ferrite-core (“FT”) type #43 transformer that matches 50 ohm input to 2500 ohm end fed antenna. It is optimized for 3.5/7/10/14 MHz but will work reasonably well on all amateur bands from 80 meters thru 10 meters with a 135 foot length of wire and a short connection to ground.

Installation Tips. Weather you bought one of our multiband models like the EFHW-8010/7510, EFHW-4010 or a transformer like the MEF-330, MEF-107 etc. these basic rules apply to any antenna installation. All antennas need to be as far as possible from ground, antennas, wires, homes and similar.
Complete 1:49 UnUn kit for End Fed antenna 1 kiloWatt. Includes: 2x FT290-43 core, winding wire, housing and stainless steel mounting hardware.
Description. For those that enjoy the LNR and Hy Endfed antennas, but want to run more power, Balun Designs now offers an excellent alternative. Built with the same craftsmanship as all our other units, this new model will allow you to either replace your current matching unit or construct a new higher power end fed half wave antenna.
