The Spiderbeam (spiderbeam.com) antenna mast is 40ft long, made of fiberglass and pretty thick. Here I test it with a light half-wave wire on 20m, the OA-144 2m omnidirectional antenna, a 135ft wire in inverted-V configuration and the PAR 40/20/10 end-fed in the beautiful fortified city of Montreuil, North of France.

This antenna has evolved from the original W3EDP, itself inspired by the ZEPP, and uses an impedance matching section made of ladder-line and a 4:1 BALUN. In this video I go the the Island of St Marguerite by sailboat and test the antenna on the boat as well as on land. Performance is as expected, not great, but it works and is practical, easy to build and use, as well as cheap.

You will benefit greatly from having a good ground for compromise antennas shorter than a half-wave. Note that grounding your station is a good idea no matter what kind of antenna you use. It does get rid of eventual stray RF currents and may improve your signal.

Just a great time with friends testing radios and antennas; overnight camping surrounded by beautiful mountains.

Since my magnetic loop antenna uses an FT-140-43 toroid for feeding, I have always found it bothersome to have to add of remove turns to the toroid for band selection. Finally I decided to build a band selector described in this video.
