@@rfquests I did indeed, and set up my own yesterday, following your guidance. The curious thing is it works well on 10,12,15,17 and 20 but not so great on 40. I wasn't expecting such good results on 12 and 17, so I am going to live without 40 on this wire, for now. I think the wire may still be too long but I don't want to mess it up. 73 !
We all learning by doing. You did a great Job building your own Anntenna. Yes I agree 61ft. instead of 66ft. of Wire is way too short to run it as a NO Tune Version. HAM Radio is fun thru and thru. I enjoy every Moment of it . . .
Good job, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cut my wire too short! Building antennas is a fun, learning experience.
For sure!
This is a very clear video guide to setting up an EFHW for 40,20,15 and 10m. Thanks for being honest about the slightly tricky parts ! 73, Pete M0KNQ
Absolutely, and glad you enjoyed the video!

The approximate length for 40m printed on the QRP Guys EFHW is 61ft 6ins, so it's not surprising that 61ft worked.
Tie the antenna to the water bottle (free end) then pull it back. Much easier!
How did you cure the paracord to the wire ? Just curious about that one part ?
I used heat shrink tubing.
Nice job ... thanks for sharing / 73
Hey, you should use a microphone mounted at the collar...
Thanks for the feedback! This video was actually the reason we bought the DJI lapel mics seen in our recent videos!
I like 468/freq (Mhz) better
