Has anyone used the Par ENDFEDZ dipole antennas for QRP in the field or at
home for fixed operation? They seem to have very good reviews on Eham.net. I
am interested in their 30 meter and 20 meter monoband dipoles to use at home
and in the field with my K1-4 and maybe my future KX-3. Thanks.
Hi Bob:
I started with the Par 17M and 30M endfed antenna as my regular antennas for
the shack when operating on those bands. Awesome performance and they are at a
max 30-40' up. I only had to trim the 30M a little to tune it. These are
strung horizontally.
As a result I got the 10-20-40

I've used them for 6 years and they work very well. They're end-fed (hence
the name ENDFEDZ) half wave dipoles so they can be oriented either
vertically or
A dipole is a half wave antenna no matter where it is fed. The dipole
designation is not related to center feed, but to the fact that the antenna has
exactly two
poles or voltage loops - one at each end.
The end feed is truly an advantage in portable work and in some fixed stations

I have used the PAR EFHW antennas for a couple of years now in my portable QRP
work and they are very effective antennas.
Currently using the PAR 40/20/10M version but also have the 20/40M version that
I have used extensively as well.
On one occasion in the field I had a 100ft wire up in a
Hello Bob,
I have used the 20 and 40 meter mono band antenna's, both work great.
There's nothing magical about these antennas but I feel that there is no
easier/quicker way to get on-air with a good signal then with an end fed
antenna like the ones from PAR electronics.
