QM5 Yagi for 2 meters band - The QM5 antenna is a simple 5 elements Yagi with 1.88 m boom length for the lower 144 MHz SSB/MGM band, I used it mainly for Sporadic-E and MS contacts. It exhibits a forward gain of 9.17 dBd; i.e. 11.3 dB forward gain over the isotropic radiator, while the F/R is about 11.5 dB. Elements

QM7 7 elements 144 MHz Yagi-Uda Antenna - The QM7 antenna is a simple 7 elements Yagi with 3.70 m boom length for the lower 144 MHz SSB/MGM band, used it mainly for Sporadic-E and MS contacts. It exhibits a forward gain of 11.35 dBd; i.e. 13.5 dB forward gain over the isotropic radiator, while the F/R is about 12.5 dB

8 Element Quad for 145 Mhz  ^{updated  pop} - 8 elements quad antenna for 2 meters band, centered on 145 Mhz

Portable Yagi for 144MHz - Simple 7 element Yagi is ideal for portable operation.

Roll-up & Copper JPole antennas - Roll-up and Copper Pipe J-Pole Antennas for 144 Mhz.

Yagi Element Mounting Considerations - One of the most important considerations when designing and building a Yagi antenna is the method used to attach the elements to a boom. This is true because the boom influences the electrical length of the elements. In this article JH Reisert explain with drawings techniques on mounting yagi antenna elements to a boom

Experiments with a Moxon Rectangle antenna - An easy to build moxon antenna for portable use. A Moxon Rectangle is a two element beam, where both elements are folded towards eachother.

The 5 Bands Wire-Beam - This wire-beam has one radiator-element, feeded with 450-Ohm-Wireman-twinlead and needs an antenna-tuner. For the bands 6m, 10m, 12m, 15m, 17m and 20m bended reflector-elements are used. The support is a cross of 4 fibreglass-fishing-rods

Long Loopstick Antenna - Wound on a 3 foot length of PVC pipe, the long loopstick antenna was an experiment to try to improve AM radio reception without using a long wire or ground.

W2LJ's QRP Amateur Radio - Dedicated to QRP, Morse Code and operating in the great outdoors, this pages contains a description of a CW QRP portable set, also some stuff on the Buddipole and PAC-12 antenna systems.

Modem for Baycom compatible software - Schematic for a 1200/300 baud modem for baycom compatible software

Radio Free London - Radio Free London is now BACK ON THE AIR. We are now back on medium wave (AM) on 1125kHz (266 metres) and 5805kHz short wave every Sunday. The SW service consists of a 4 hour loop of 2 programmes. The medium wave service has a third bonus programme making it a 6 hour loop of 3 programmes.

The mystery of the numbers stations - In response to a question about Numbers Stations, their origin and purpose, the following information should be of interest.

Smith Chart Software - SimSmith is a highly interactive, real time Smith chart graphing program. Circuits are constructed using drag-n-drop. Load files can be imported from the EZNEC and CocoaNEC antenna simulation software and from the AIM4170 and miniVNApro antenna analyzers. Circuits and load files can be of any size. Key Features: SimSmith is one of the few Smith chart packages which models transmission line losses. SimSmith also allows the description of circuit elements using algebraic equations. SimSmith has only one screen and allows the screen to be resized to increase workspace or readability.

RoMac 10 Band Equalizer - 10 Band DSP Equalizer for Ham Radio, requires Win 98 or higher, 128 MB, 16 bit sound card.

DSPBOX - DOS Freeware, DSPBOX is an attempt to code the Texas Instruments DSK 'C50 in such a way to make it behave like a commercial DSP noise reduction unit, like the NIR-12, the TimeWave 599+ and others. Not only the noise reduction function has been implemented, but automatic notch, AGC and Band Pass have as well.

DNBTV - This experimental software will send pictures or slow video directly from your webcam through your soundcard. you will need a webcam capable of 160*120 24bit RGB.

SatEvo - SatEvo is a program to compute the decay or re-entry times of earth satellites. For objects nearing decay, it generates sets of orbital elements for each revolution. The format of the input and output element sets conform to the standard tle format accepted by many prediction programs.
