Build a hanging dipole for two metres - Described here is a simple omnidirectional, vertically-polarised dipole for two metres

The Cycloid Collinear, a CP Omni - This paper describes a wide band, high gain, multi-element cp omni with a single 50 ohm feedpoint with instructions for building a 2 and half element cycloid collinear for 2 meters.

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.

K0FF's 6 meter SLOOP antenna - It is more or less omni-directional, and horizontally polarized, it's just a dipole folded around on itself, and supported at the far (open) end with a plastic insulator.

The Simple Collinear - Wherever there is a need for a vertically polarized omni-directional antenna with gain, a collinear is used. The vertically polarized collinear takes the form of two or more half waves in-line and in-phase, resulting in an omni-directional pattern with maximum radiation near the horizon.

Omni-Gain Vertical Collinear Antenna - This rugged antenna, an omnidirectional collinear, is capable of surviving harsh environments. It's a good choice for repeater installations and can be top, or side mounted to the tower by WA6SVT

Home-brew Compact 6dBi Collinear Antenna  ^pop - This page details the construction of an easy-to-make collinear 360 degrees omni-directional, vertically polarised, antenna for 802.11b/g wireless networking.

6dbi Colinear Antenna for Wireless LAN  ^pop - This is an short description on how to make a cheap omni antenna for 802.11 wireless LAN cards.

Build a hanging dipole for 2 metres - Described here is a simple omni-directional, vertically-polarized dipole for two meters. Made from coaxial cable, it can be rolled up and stored in a small container

CobWeb antenna construction - A 5 band omni directional antenna original design by g3tpw. Works on 10,12,15,17,20,2,6 m & 70cms.

The Lindenblad antenna - The ultimate satellite Omni Antenna by Howard Sodja, W6SHP. The Lindenblad antenna consists of four half wave folded dipoles slanted 30 degrees to the horizon, oriented 90 degrees to each other in azimuth, spaced 0.3 wavelength apart

FM Transmitting Antenna - The antenna system about to be described here is a superset of the classic "J-Pole" design, a 4-bay J-Pole antenna
