In this video, I dive deep into the creation and testing of a unique stealth foil antenna, for amateur radio, designed for my car's sunroof using a slot antenna style and 1" copper tape. From fine-tuning the frequency and impedance to achieving successful repeater hits. Special shoutout to John Portune for his invaluable resources on slot antennas. His insights have truly revolutionized my approach to ham radio. Whether you're an antenna enthusiast, ham radio operator, or simply curious, this video offers a blend of technical insights and personal experiences. Discover how simple antennas can bring joy and a sense of accomplishment!
