The slides from the 2025 HamX presentation, “Antennas for Backyard, Balcony, Attic, or Wherever” by Bob Glorioso, W1IS, are now posted on the Battery Eliminator Store website.
Talk Description:
We have found that many new hams and retiring hams are living in apartments or condos where they have limited ability to get on HF while others have constraints like HOAs or family concerns about the aesthetics of wires, masts or beams hanging on the house. It takes more than reading an add or buying a mobile antenna to get on HF. First, they must understand the basics of antennas or they are stymied. This presentation covers the principles needed and examples of successful HF antennas in a restricted environment.
