There is a good introductory segment by\u00a0Gordon West, WB6NOA to the dipole antenna, the benefits of a resonant vs non-resonant antenna and a discussion of other simple wire antenna’s near the start of the the latest Ham Nation episode. \u00a0We have a link to all episodes\u00a0under ‘H’ on our Links<\/a> page but for convenience you can also find it here: http:\/\/twit.tv\/show\/ham-nation\/162<\/a><\/p>\n

Ham Nation is in its 162 weekly episode and since the very first episode they have covered a wealth of subjects core to amateur radio. \u00a0Memorable episodes for me are Bob’s introduction to microphones, audio processing and the importance of good audio to working DX, coaxial dipoles, the station ground (RF vs DC) including\u00a0ground loops plus some of the kits George has built on the show, but there are many more.<\/p>\n

If you don’t know about Ham Nation, I can certainly recommend viewing. \u00a0It’s an all American production by Bob Heil (K9EID)<\/a> [Of microphone fame],\u00a0Gordon West (WB6NOA)<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>George Thomas (W5JDX)<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Dale Puckett (K0HYD)<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0episodes often contain contributions from the UK. \u00a0Its very good and has quite a worldwide following.<\/p>\n
