Shown here is a crossed dipole antenna made from hamsticks. Each pair covers a different band - 20 and 40 meters. I like building portable and temporary antennas for use while camping or traveling. I used this antenna in the 2007 Sweepstakes. On the chimney of the house is a 6M3 three-element 6-meter Yagi on a rotor. Under the rotor is the 4:1 balun for the off-center-fed 80 meter dipole, which serves as my main HF antenna.
