Description
This video walks you through how to make a 10m base-loaded shortened vertical that is small and lightweight, and it shows you the start to finish of how to design one for any band!
I used online calculators to figure out the inductance needed for the coil. Then I used another calculator to get the values to make the coil. (Number of windings and spacing based on the size of the magnet wire.)
The links for calculating the inductance and coil size. That's not my website, and the advertisements can be interesting.
