Endfed 20/30 Mtr Antenna - Article with detailed pictures of an endfeed antennna for 20 and 30 meter band

Build your own 20m vertical  ^pop - Build your own 50ohm coax fed 20m vertical antenna, so easy a 9 year old can do it, or at least help! And the budget? You may already have the materials on hand, or worse case spend $15 by Andrew Daniel - KI4QFY

40-80 Half-Extended Double Zepp Antenna - A dual-bander for 80M and 40m. An Extended Double Zepp (EDZ) is a 5/4 wavelength center-fed dipole. This article will introduce the Half-Extended Double Zepp (HEDZ) which has characteristics that a lot of amateur radio operators should find quite interesting

50MHz J-Pole Antenna  ^pop - Need a general purpose antenna on the magic band? The J-Pole is an easy-to-build and inexpensive device that provides an omni-directional vertically polarised antenna without the need for a ground plane. In technical terms, it is an end fed vertical 1/2 wave which is fed via a 1/4 wave matching stub.

The zeppelin antenna for 50 Mhz - A end fed antenna used on the big zeppelin airships (thus the name ZEPPELIN antenna) of the 1930's where the wire trailed behind the dirigible.

K7MEM Center-Fed Half-Wave Dipole ( 3-30 MHz) - A Center-Fed Half-Wave Dipole is probably the simplest of antennas to construct and use. It is usually suspended between two supports, from it's end insulators, and has the feedline hanging from the center.

EFHW Vertical Antenna - Steve G0KYA project of and End Fed 1/2 Vertical

Portable QRP HF Antennas - Notes on the end-fed half-wave antenna, single-band stub-fed EFHW and a multiband EFHW antenna

End-fed vertical j-pole and horizontal zepp vertical - There are many incorrect ideas and claims surrounding end-fed vertical antennas (like the I-Max 2000), end fed horizontal antennas, Zepp, and J-pole antennas. This article describes it.

How to make an end-fed antenna work  ^pop - Here is a sure fire way to make end-fed halfwave antennas fed with a 50 ohm coupler work - without long radials, grounds, chokes, voodoo.

End fed halfwave antenna and matching unit - One is an EFHWA for 20-40 meters, and the other is a matching unit for the antenna by n0lx

N2CX on End-Fed Halfwave Antennas - This original N2CX article was first published in the 72 newsletter back in 1997 or 1998.

"Halfer" End-Fed Halfwave Antenna  ^pop - End-Fed Half-Wave Antenna for the 7 or 10 MHZ amateur bands intended to provide a very simple to erect yet effective portable QRP antenna.

An improved 40-80 double extended zepp - Article originally published in ARRL compendium by N6LF revisits the classic double extended Zepp to improve pattern and SWR bandwidth. The DEZepp is essentially two end-fed collinear dipoles.

Feeding an End-Fed Antenna  ^pop - End-Fed antennas are NOT balanced systems; but neither are verticals, ground planes, discones, windoms, zepps, Marconis, half-slopers, et al. Additionally, the low-impedance antenna port of your transmitter/receiver is not balanced.

End-Fed Halfwave Antenna  ^pop - The end-fed halfwave antenna is a resonant half wavelength long antenna like a dipole antenna except for it is fed at its end rather then in the center. This antenna is as old as radio and is probably best known as the Zepp Antenna

Eliminating TX RF Feedback Problems - Malfunction of transceivers due to stray RF pickup is a common problem, especially when using end-fed antennas, high-impedance feedlines, or a poor ground counterpoise

The G5RV Antenna System Re-Visited - The original G5RV antenna system consists of a center-fed horizontal 102' wire plus a 34' length of open-wire 525-Ohm feeder. Louis Varney, the antenna system's developer, intended two other features. Learn more at Cebik website

Types of multiband antennas - Types of multi-band antennas for the HF bands, from the horizontal end fed wire, to g5rv, log periodics, trap dipoles, vee beams and rhombic antennas.

Fundamentals of Off-Center-Fed Dipoles - Off-center-fed dipoles (OCFs) are 1/2-wavelength wire antennas fed at neither the center nor the end, but somewhere between--off-center

An End Fed Half Wave Antenna - This end fed type of antenna was marketted in the UK and is a useful system for the portable set-up. Being a half wave, no radials or counterpose wires are needed.

Field-Deployable Antennas - Resonant dipoles, the W3EDP and end-fed wires, the extended double zepp, non-resonant doublets, and the "Zip-Cord Special" , the W6MMA vertical.

The FD4 (FD3) Windom Antenna  ^pop - The 4-band Fritzel model FD4 is a special version of a Windom antenna. It is a half-wave long on the lowest frequency, and is fed from a coax cable through a transformer inserted in the wire at one-third from one end

K4TR Antennas - K4TR Manufacture and sell simple dipoles, half square 2 wire phased vertical arrays, end fed zepp antennas, G5RV antennas. 1:1 baluns
