Will do.  At this point just ran it thru the VNA with a dummy load.

Hey Barry,

Great to hear that you built the ARRL $80 one.  Let me know how it tests out deployed in your backyard or at a park.

I bought and built the kit from ARRL, $80 comes with antenna wire and has a connection for counterpoise.

Dom,

Good evening.  Yes, the 49:1 transformer I bought from Amazon has worked very well.  The link for the amazon.com page for the transformer is the following: https://a.co/d/fM3XN3M 

 

This is a pic of the transformer itself.

BTW, the full parts list for my End Fed Half Wave antenna project is the following:

 

-> 49 to 1 transformer https://a.co/d/fs47M3y 

-> 18 AWG stranded wire WH 18-04-100 https://www.nteinc.com/wire/WH_Series.php 

-> 3S 18650 battery holder case https://a.co/d/hM3DmEh

 

Also, I recorded a YouTube video on my EFHW antenna project which used the 49:1 transformer and was tested in my backyard.  The link to that video is attached to this email. https://youtu.be/sdpzDPh15dw

 

Have a great one and 73!
