This EFHW is the best wire antenna that I have ever used in over 30 years in the hobby. My configuration has the transformer mounted 30 feet on a pole, and the wire in an L configuration. My antenna analyzer shows an swr of 1.8:1 or better on all of the bands.
5 mar 2016 · QST magazine has published an independent review of the EFHW-8010 multiband antenna in March 2016 issue. You can read it here EFHW-8010 QST review. Category: MyAntennas BLOG. EFHW-8010-Is this the ultimate ‘magic’ antenna? CMC- Common Mode Choke as noise reducer video by AC0HF.
This antenna works well enough on higher frequencies and performs like a standard dipole on 80 & 40 meters. The lower gain of a wire antenna vs a beam antenna on the upper bands is offset using a 800 watt PEP amplifier.
19 kwi 2018 · I tried a vertical but this wire antenna worked so much better. I doesn't require a tuner for most of the bands but for best effect I use one. I have to tune a bit on 80 and 40 meters and some of the higher bands. 20 meters is pretty much flat without a tuner. Just remember that HF is finicky.
The EFHW is a resonant antenna and will not need a tuner, the long wire will require a tuner. It is nice to have another easily deployed antenna in your arsenal. I have a Cobwebb, 5BTV, and DXCommander available, and use whichever one is doing best.
8 sie 2021 · I built a 40m end fed halfwave antenna and unun, and the wire is about 66 ft long. I have some tall trees nearby I can hang it in, semi-permanently. Which of the following would be better? A) hanging the far end nice and high, about 50ft, but then slope down the feed end to about 8ft
27 maj 2015 · There is no BIG secret about the EFHW-8010 antenna, it is just a wideband low loss transformer and a piece of wire. Yes, there is a coil a few feet from the box but it is NOT TRAP, it is no secret as well, actually, everything in this antenna was published and patented by few people a long ago.
