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.
This antenna, which works on 10, 15, 20, and 40 meters, has a very high impedance of around 2,500 Ohms. The kit includes the parts needed to construct a 49:1 impedance matching network, which will transform the impedance to 50 Ohms, which will suit most transceivers.

Kit includes everything you need to build a 49:1 end fed half wave antenna. Antenna works without needing a tuner on 10M, 15M, 20M & 40M with SWR ≤ 2:1 Easy to build! Just wind the toroid, solder a few joints, connect the wire, and you are on the air. There's also an easy to follow assembly video.
An Easy Assembly Guide for a 49:1 EFHW (It doesn't even need to be this kit). The kit I use will get 4 bands (40,20,15.10) if wrapped this way. ...more. The video is geared towards you if you...
4 sie 2020 · This is the page on the End-Fed Half-Wave antenna with a 49:1 transformer. This is a multiband antenna without the need for any tuner (which is the best type of antenna).
