Extended Lazy-H Antenna: A Classic Multiband Wire Design from QST

Extended Lazy-H Antenna: A Classic Multiband Wire Design from QST: The Extended Lazy-H antenna, introduced in QST in 1955, is a balanced, open-wire-fed HF antenna offering efficient multiband operation.

The Extended Lazy-H antenna is one of amateur radio’s classic wire antenna designs, combining simplicity with reliable multiband performance. First published in the October 1955 issue of QST magazine, this antenna was intended to provide efficient HF operation using balanced construction and open-wire feed line.

Despite its age, the design remains practical today and continues to perform well when paired with modern ladder line and antenna tuners.
