[TxHam] Homebrew antennas for HF

[David J]

Last year a few of us at Tri-County ARC WC5C built a 7 band OCF dipole (Jeff and Scott both have these) and we compared the antenna's  performance to a G5RV that we built (I have this, used it with good results on the Island projects).  The OCF dipole outperformed the G5RV notably on the few comparisons we did...1 or more s units on receive and send.

Below is a link to a "store bought" version which is premium stuff.  However these are also quite easy to build.  The information on the web site is very good on deploying and constructing, though.

I wonder if any of you have built and compared the OCF to other antenna types?
