About the project It’s a portable dual-band antenna working principally on 10 meters but also close to the 30 meter band. It’s compact, light, economical and doesn’t need any radial.If you would like to repeat my experiment you will first need a big plastic flower pot (around 70cm high, 60 top diameter and 30 cm
Article by VE3GK I was assembling a HY/GAIN, TH6DXX, a 10 – 15 and 20 meter beam the other day and thought there might be some interest in the function of the traps. I have also included some practical information on howto build traps for a multi-band, 10-15-20 meter antenna. RESONATE PARALLEL NETWORKS REVIEWED: When
RECEIVING ANTENNAS The K9FD Receiving Loop The Answer To Suburban DXing On the Low Bands – by K9FD Editor’s note: Merv Schweigert, K9FD, has been working jusl about everything on the 40, 80 and 160 meter band” this season. In this article he shares some of his experiences with receiving antennas. lf you live on
This antenna has several advantages, not least being only 1 metre diameter! This loop relies on being horizontally polarised and receives only the magnetic wave, thus as most noise in the domestic environment is vertically polarised and electrical wave, it delivers low noise to your transeiver/receiver, which makes for nice clean listening. In addition any

Introduction A rotating quad for 80 meters are you crazy? well i did it and it worked well. now i’m not saying that i think anyone else be as nuts as me but it seemed to fun be idea at the time. i remember calling into a local 80 meter net on 3.755 mhz asking
Dear Fellow Hams Here are the numbers for the Copper Cactus J-Pole antenna!I hope you are already familiar with the construction of the standard J-Pole antenna, so I won’t go into any unnecessary detail. The antenna may be built as a MonoBander, DuoBander, TriBander, QuadBander or whatever with great success.You can either feed it with
Can you use a pipe cutter or a hack saw, can you solder – then here is how to build a SIMPLE ”J” antenna that will more than double your 2 meter (and even 440) performance! by Dale “Kuby” Kubichek, N6JSX
Receiving HF signals at my location is a compromise situation due to the antennas I use and the high noise environment in the city. Although my transceiver has good selectivity and excellent filters, I suffer from high noise conditions that at times make receiving a chore. This is true for both weak-signal DX as well
