HF Antenna for My Kenwood TH-F6A

My Kenwood TH-F6A handheld will receive HF frequencies. The stock antenna does a very poor job at that (I might as well had a dummy load hooked up instead of the antenna).  I was anxious to see if something more closely resembling an normal HF antenna might help.

I ordered an SMA-BNC adapter from Thor Labs. It arrived today.  I used it to connect the DX-EE trap dipole in the attic to the TH-F6A and it worked wonderfully!

For my next QRP outing I’m putting together a portable inverted Vee for 40 meters.  I will bring the TH-F6A along and test it with that antenna as well.
