Simple Ham Radio Antennas

If you're tired of your usual HF antenna, why not try a popular variant of the "classic dipole", such as the Off Center Fed Dipole? In this well-constructed tutorial, Johnny (W5KV) does an excellent job of  explaining the general theory and construction of the OCF dipole as he shows us how he deploys a popular HF ham radio OCF antenna. As you would expect, erecting the OCF may be a bit more complicated than installing the traditional horizontal 1/2 wavelength dipole.  With a little time and perhaps some help from a fellow ham, the job can be done without major problems.
