Top 8 Ham Radio Antennas on Amazon for 2024

Excellent review. I've been using a MFJ-2010 40-10 OCFD for the last 6 years. It's permanently mounted at my QTH and problem-free in spite of summer temps well into the 100's and winter temps down to zero. Less than a hundred bucks when I bought it. Couldn't ask for more.

Maybe not direct on Amazon, but the LDG 1:1, 1:4,1:9 system work well, and wires can be attached easily.

Love supporting American Companies appreciate the awesome list of Antennas 12:10 @Ham Radio 2.0

I've been scouring the internet looking for some antenna options. Couple gems here in your list. Thanks for taking the time. 73 from Ontario, Canada.

I've been waiting on the K6ARK 100w Kit to come back in stock. After that, I've been trying to save up for the stick antennas for HF.

Just saw this video come up. Watching the Amazon screen noticed you are in Grapevine! I lived there up till 2013 for about 9 years. My house was in the neighborhood by the Football field/little Mexico.

TinySA is now $208, holy hell!

I've been waiting for Adam's 100W EFHW matching unit to go back in-stock for a while and I would have missed it without your video. Thank you!

Have been using the emcomm iii portable as a base antenna for many months and although it would be nice to have at a higher elevation, it has performed better than I expected.

Well. My newbie brain is hash. The adventure of this life is being overwhelmed and researching then wising up and asking help from the knowledgeable Elmers available. I'm still in the OOOh, AAAH phase. I'm a firm believer in spending time learning how to get out of trouble faster than we got in. I used to teach four color scanning on large drum scanners. I would spend a day telling the trainee to push THAT button. There was no panic later, when a real error was made. This has nothing to do with radio? Explore, push the wrong button. There is an Elmer just waiting to bail us newbies out of the mire. Well, anyway, 73 to all.

Gabil GRA-750B is a good multiband mobile whip and the JPC-12 vertical antenna is also a nice compact vertical antenna.

The Beard is Looking awesome bro @Ham Radio 2.0

I've been wanting to try that Windcamp Gipsy.t

I have a ton of DIY impedance transformers that I have built over the time. Really gotta say if you have a tuner in your radio or an external tuner a 9:1 with a 66ft section of wire will get you all the bands from 10-80 and I think I see around 1.12 to 1.2 SWR. Probably the most compact setup you can get into that covers the majority of the bands. If you are using a 49:1 or 64:1 UnUn I would try around a 135ft section of wire for your antenna, that will get you 10-160m if I remember correctly. Amidon T200-2 toroid will cover all the bands and are apparently good to 1.5kW SSB thats what I use in my 9:1 and its done 8 hours straight of FT8 at 50W without flinching, could run it at 100W but my radio doesn't like doing FT8 at full power for long, she gets SPICY hot!

Here at mfj we are proud to bring you lead free soldered items at discounted prices

One of the best multi band antennas with value for money is the Pac 12 & the JPC7 100 WATTS all bands for around $160 US I have been using for a couple years now. If you purchase the 5.6m tele whip you can remove the coil and use the for 6 to 20 meters

While not quite an antenna, #3 as a 9:1 unun is perfect for what I'm looking for, and I already have the wire. Thanks for sharing. 👍

I have a clone of the Super Antenna I picked up at Dayton years ago. Long before POTA. Metric machining and sloppy but it is one of my go to POTA antennas. Tyler State Park. PA to Antartica on 100W. If it ever breaks, I'm getting a Super Antenna. The center loaded vertical is that good!

What, primarily, about an antenna determines the watt rating? Is it the gauge of the wire? I kinda expect the hear "it depends". 😃

Just ordered one of K6ARK's 100 watt end fed kits. Thank you!
