Some days I heard 10- MHz. Good propagation conditions, lots stations but no antenna. Only 42- meters length of wire was connected to my ICOM-7000 through ICOM AT-180. So, I decided to make EH-Antenna for the band. To avoid too much job with cylinders (that are commonly used at EH- Antenna) I made a Flat EH- Antenna from stuff from my scrap- box. It takes only 3- 4 hours for making and tuning of the antenna.

I made the antenna like an experimental for short time work. But the antenna showed so good performance that I leave it for my every- day work in the Air. Figure 1 shows the Flat EH- Antenna.
