Design and make one for your favorite Shortwave Listening Bands
Simply a Quarter Wave Length (1/4 WL) per side Dipole Antenna
using 300 Ohm Twin Lead and factoring in the Velocity Factor (VF).

Shortwave Band and 1/4 WL Feet
120 Meter = 97.5 Feet * VF

75 Meters = 59.2 Feet * VF
60 Meters = 47.7 Feet * VF
49 Meters = 38.5 Feet * VF
41 Meters = 31.8 Feet * VF
31 Meters = 24.5 Feet * VF
25 Meters = 19.7 Feet * VF
22 Meters = 17.1 Feet * VF
