About this video
Before you call "clickbait" on me, let me explain: in this video, I’m building one of the MANY possible configurations of the Chucktenna, a highly versatile portable antenna. While I construct it, I’ll show you just how easy it is to adapt and create multiple configurations to fit your operating needs.
The Chucktenna (Named after the companies Chief Executive Pup (CEP)) is what I believe could become one of the most universal portable antennas out there. It is my opinion this antenna has the flexibility to meet many demands of portable use.
In this video, I’ll walk you the basics of building the CHUCKtenna, all while explaining different options and configurations this antenna COULD be capable of. I truly know there are some AMAZING people in the community who will roll with this and make something great. A little credit would be great.
Different configurations possible:
1. Vertical 1/4 or 5/8 wave on Multi bands (THIS IS WHAT I SHOW YOU TODAY)
2. 9:1, 4:1, 49:1 End Fed configurations
3. Dipole
4. Delta DUDE (Portable Delta Loop) Antenna.
5. Ground Radials.
Keep experimenting....
