Can anyone point me to some simple designs for a home made 17 metre
antenna. I am looking for some simple half wave dipole type designs.

468/18.1mhz=25.85 total feet for a half wave dipole. Divide by two for
each leg.
Feed with 50 ohm coax. Can't get much simpler than that. Can't get
much more
efficient either unless maybe you have to run 500 ft of coax. .
