Thanks Dave & Viv for your kind help in supplying and putting up this aerial for me!
First off I’m sorry for the poor quality. It will get better very soon. Showing a very portable end fed dipole HF antenna setup with a 20 gauge trifilar wound 9:1 unun transformer I made and currently sell on eBay. My username is “nelson_antennas”.This antenna matchbox will work 160-m trough 6m with a single wire antenna. 160 and 6 meter will depend on your tuners capabilities but tunes up and works well with my LDG-YT 100 and 897D . Antenna can be ran as a sloper/vertical or inverted L. Counterpoise wires are not necessary but can help on some bands but that’s the fun part of HAM radio….Experimenting! Enjoy

I know you say putting it in an attic will work good but if i have an 8 to
10 foot ceiling in my bedroom on a ground floor, will it work well for me
running the wire along my ceiling? And what kind of wire do you recommend,
would regular speaker wire work well with this?
I find the match box very interesting, but your video is somewhat confusing.
First you show a one to one match on many different bands. Excellent! Then
you connected a wire, and threw it on the floor, only to show worse
results. Why?
I’m interested to see if i can use this matchbox qrp, with my ft817, having
good enough swr on 40, 30, 17 that i dont need a tuner.
I guess what i’m asking for is a practical, real world, test! Can you
please make another video?
