Diy Hf vertical

[nordhavn]

I'd like to have a go at making an hf vertical . From my understanding a simple one would be to use a 1/2 wave Silver rod with the loading coil removed and a 9:1 balun at the base . Would a better quality antenna such as a sirio 827 make much of a difference ?

What bands it suppouse to work?

No. You have no idea about feedpoint impedance, so no one knows what (if) balun you need.

No.
Btw do not forget radials. At least 2 1/4 wave for each band.

Maybe that is an antenna you think about? http://www.g8jnj.net/cometcha250b.htm

That is something worth building: http://www.tc2m.info/

wko transmits on hf broadband ?
