Antenna for GSM, CB, marine, VHF/UHF, HAM and high frequency 1,9/2,4GHz

Also known as the Backpacker's Delight Antenna. This Folding J Pole Antenna is the original design of Mike Heiler KA0ZLG and was featured on the Front Cover of the March 2005 QST Magazine.

A very efficient 80 meter Counterpoise antenna designed to reduce ground losses from inadequate radial systems beneath inverted L antennas, a project by DM2GM and DM4IM based on the original K2AV antenna concept.

Demonstrates the _RoMac Automatic CW Identifier 2012_ software, a Windows application designed to automate station identification and provide a tuning pulser. It can send CW identification via a sound card's audio output or by keying a radio's manual CW jack using a serial port's DTR line. The software also supports CAT commands for various Kenwood, Yaesu, Flex, and Elecraft radios, enabling automatic mode and frequency changes for ID transmission. It integrates with USB audio-capable radios like the Icom 7300 and Yaesu FT-991, simplifying connectivity with a single USB cable. The application features a fully programmable interface, adjustable CW speed from **5 to 35 WPM**, and ID intervals from **5 to 30 minutes**. The integrated "Pulse Tuner" function allows for safe amplifier and antenna tuner adjustments by sending short audio tones or rapid CW keying, with an adjustable duty cycle from 1% to 100%. It offers compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and amplifiers, and a schematic for a basic sound card interface is included for users without existing setups.

A simple 6dBi Collinear Antenna for LoRa compared to the Lorank8 gateway default antenna.

This blog post by VE3VN discusses the design and performance of a 40-meter reversible Moxon antenna. The antenna provides coverage between southeast to west by default, with the ability to reverse for coverage from east to northwest. The post explains how the antenna performs well in various directions, focusing on the Caribbean, South/Central America, the US, and Europe. Detailed measurements and design considerations are shared, highlighting the accuracy of the model and the critical importance of coil inductance. The post also mentions the use of NEC5 for accurate modeling. Overall, this detailed discussion provides valuable insights for ham radio operators looking to optimize their antenna setup.
