Hi everyone,
Like many hams, I live in a HOA restricted subdivision, so a
permanent HF antenna is not practical. I have been thinking for a while
about EFHW as a temporary antenna which I can set up and take down quickly.
My question has probably been asked many times so please
Hello Amal,
I recently got my licence and going through this process with hoa
restrictions. While ARRL efhw is great, I would recommend chameleon’s version.
If you have tall trees, you can use their longer version that’s resonant from
80 meters. Id you prefer vertical, mfj is awesome but I wo

I have built the ARRL EFHW kit. It works fine. The kit come with wire to
make to work for 10-40 meters. You can get a longer wire and it will work
for 10-80 meters.
That said MOST HOA rules state you can dow what ever in your back yard as long
as it cant be seen from the front stree
I know you are being told the buying the ARRL EFHW is a good idea, but as
one that has built many EFHW antennas. I would recommend building it. It is
cheaper and most parts can be sourced in town. If you have any questions or
need help doing so let me know.

I agree with Anthony about building it yourself. I have built a couple
from parts and I prefer them over the kits that I have built.
With regard to the antenna analyzer, this is what I am using and it is fine
for my needs - https://amzn.to/46A5mYk I would encourage you to watch some
YouTube vide
The Nano VNA is a great analyzer. I recommend it. It will help you with any
antenna you wish to buy or build. Again building it would be better. I can
help you source most of the parts localy.
