Building High Power, High Q, Loading Coils - This page describes the loading coil (inductor) that W8WWV built for my center-loaded 160 meter (1.83 MHz) vertical antenna.

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

Dual Loop 80 and 40 Meter  ^pop - A dual loop antenna, ZZ Wave Net HF Wire Antenna Project by VE6VIS. The antenna is basically a full wave 80 meter loop on top and a 40 meter loop on the bottom all supported from a 64 foot center support

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

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

W4JOH Cobra Antenna - The original Cobra antenna, is a multiband 160 or 80 to 10 meter, designed by W4JOH is built using standard insulated wire of about 14 gauge and fed with 450 ohm ladder line down to the shack into a tuner.

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.

Quad antenna calculator - To get the dimensions for your quad, all you have to do is type in the center frequency of the range where you talk, or the frequency you use most and then click the Calculate button.

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

European CB Federation Priority listing - The ECBF is the organization from all cb's in the Europe.

Federachi - Chile - Federachi - federación de clubes de radioaficionados de chile

A new method of radio direction finding Priority listing - A method of finding radio sources with antennas based on omni-directionality (the less directional the better coverage). Uses energy levels and some sophisticated math (encompassed in a free software download on the site) to find x,y,z coordinates of the fox relative to the center of your antenna array. Can be overlayed on a GPS map to help you locate in real-time.

Parabolic - This program calculates geometry, gain, losses, efficiency, directivity pattern and other parameters of primary fed and offset parabolic antennas.

Pizza - This program allows both great-circle (polar) and rectangular projections of the world. The great-circle map is centered on any specified latitude and longitude (the "home" location). The rectangular projection is shown with the home longitude in the middle of the screen.

BCmap - This program shows a polar-projection map of the northern part of Region 2 (Western hemisphere) with the patterns of all AM radio stations in Canada, the United States, Mexico and Cuba, on a specified frequency, with the map centered on a user-specified "home" location.

Propagation Wizard - Freeware windows application that help in determine the availability of a shortwave link, by Rohde & Schwarz

WINRAD by I2PHD  ^{updated  pop} - Winrad is a free software program designed to implement a Software Defined Radio (SDR), meant to run under Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows 98SE. In a nutshell, it accepts a chunk of up to 96 kHz coming from a complex mixer in form of two signals, I and Q, fed to the PC sound card.
