For backup and for 80m I use an HyEndFed 8 Band antenna
Bands: 80m-10m, power-handling: 1600W
Mounting point is ~15m on top of the roof, straight to a tree, also ~15m (North/South)

Hi can you tell me how good is the performance of the antenna please?
I have a limited space garden and like a lot of people trying to get the best I can.
You signal to me on 14.195 Mhz at 17:00hrs UTC 06/01/2020 was a good 5.7 to me
in Somerset UK near to the city of Bath
I would like to know about your other antenna how did you make them or did you buy them?
Hi Reg,
I use the endfed antenna only for 80m and 160m. For 40-10m it is only my backup-antenna. On 20m I usualy work with my 2el Deltaloop.
I bought this endfed from HyEndFed (Netherlands). For shortskip (inside EU) the antenna works really good, but for DX the angle of radiation is too high. My endfed is ~40m in length…
If I had limited space, I guess I would try an multiband-vertical antenna. But the endfed is not complicated to build, maybe worth a try.

Can you tell me how you installed the endfe? Is it grounded? How? Tamks
Hi Nino,
no, the endfed is not grounded.
