Antennas for 10m

10m is waking from its slumber: after several years when it has been more like a VHF band, it is again a great F2 DX band. In recent days it has opened well to North and South America.

One of the great things about this band is antennas are small and even a short distance above ground is significant in terms of wavelengths. CB half wave verticals can work well on 10m and a dipole is very small.

In the past I used a small wire halo which I called the Homebase-10 as most parts could be got from the local hardware shop. It has been on the blog before but with 10m "waking up" now might be a great time to have a go.
