I5MZY 13 Element Yagi for 2 Meters Band
A homebrew 13 elements yagi antenna for 144 MHz by I5MZY
Antenna Wire Launcher
Dual Band J-Pole for UHF VHF
An homebrew dual band j-pole antenna
Double Quad for VHF UHF by I5NZR
A Dualband QUAD made with two identical square loops, whose sides measure a quarter wave (?/4), connected together
Double Bazooka Antenna for 40 meters
Planning to setup a double bazooka antenna for 7 MHz during next months to verify performance of the Gap Titan DX on that band. I feel like the GAP is not so well performing on that band and I’m goint to setup for the CW portion of the 40 meters. This is the basic schema

The Clemens Match
The Clemens match is easy to make and reliable, and is preferable to a single Gamma match as it is balanced. I was first introduced to the Clemens match by G4IGO several years ago, Ken builds his in a slightly different way by putting the capacitor at the feeder end and connecting the far end
Halo for 6 meters band
A good antenna that can be used for the car as well as the house is an HALO. This antenna maintains good omni-directional horizontal polarization. Basically the antenna is a half wave dipole bent into a circle,BUT shorter than a dipole for this frequency. The circumference is 60-70 inches. By useing the gamma match (see
