The ZS6BKW antenna is a better match for our bands than the G5RV. The method of construction and tuning is essentially the same for both antennas but the dimensions are different.
Here is the ZS6BKW antenna installed at AK6R fine tuned for the CW/FT8 frequencies on 40-20-17-12-10 meters. An excellent antenna when installed at 30 feet or higher and no tuner required avoiding the tuner losses and constant retuning. If you want to work all bands from 80-10 install an antenna tuner between the 1:1 balun and the amplifier and ignore the 39/40 switch.
Is this the best FT8 antenna? – I think so as I has made over 70,000 contacts and it still is a proven winner -Good world wide DX, easy to install, no tuner and takes full legal limit.
Here are several different 1:1 baluns you can use depending on power requirements:
Computer/Network RFI Solutions
Computer RFI Kits
These RFI kits are specifically selected to cure most household computer device RFI problems. It contains ferrite toroids for AC or DC power supply protection and Snap On ferrite spli beads selected to eliminate RFI from 1 to 1000 MHz. The beads are easy to use, don’t require modification of the protected equipment and work in almost all cases, even when plug-in filters fail.
Here is the Coax Noise Filter used to suppress coax common mode currents (works for all type of antennas)
