A portable C-Pole antenna
By W0VLZA C-Pole Antenna for QRPxpeditions describes a DIY C-Pole antenna designed for QRP (low-power) expeditions, inspired by KF2YN’s ground-independent vertical model. After adjustments, it achieved a 1:1 SWR at 14.060 MHz, rising to 2.5:1 at 14.35 MHz. A choke balun, comprising 15 turns of RG8X around a 4” can, was essential for optimal performance. Compact and self-supporting, the antenna enables reliable communication with minimal setup. Contacts included stations across the U.S., and even a 4,600-mile connection to Spain using only 5 watts.
