• KK5BL How To Build A G5RV Antenna - How to build a G5RV Transmitting antenna Originally posted to the packet bbs system by KC6CFF. The G5RV is an easy-to-build 80-10 dipole requiring no traps. All bands are covered, including 30, 17, and 12. The G5RV has high SWR, by design, on most bands and a tuner is required

• Corned Fed Delta Loop - Author found a ratio between the lengths of the sides of the Delta Loop that give reasonably low SWR into a 50 ohm coaxial cable almost independent of the high above ground and other surroundings. This ratio also gives good results no matter orientation. Includes an online delta loop antenna calculator.

• RF Choke with Bifilar Windings - This article presents an RF Choke featuring an 11-bifilar turn winding of #14 house wire on a Fair-rite FT240-31 toroid. The choke is enclosed in a 3D-printed case from Thingiverse, though this may pose thermal concerns at higher power levels. With SWR concerns up to 30MHz, the author plans to employ two series chokes at the rig input for improved performance. This choke offers versatility for portable use, with potential mismatch resolution using an antenna tuner. Further testing is anticipated upon the arrival of new cables.

• Some Useful ZS6BKW Modifications - The ZS6BKW antenna evolved from an optimization of the G5RV antenna. The SWR on 80m is too high and the 40 ft ladder line matching section is a little too long on 17m and a little too short on 10m

• 600W LDMOS Power Amplifier - A comeplete home made 600W LDMOS RF power amplifier. Settings can be made on a 7-inch touch screen, and on this screen you can see a lot of useful information during operation, such as output power, temperature, SWR, and so on. The power amplifier includes 2 MRF300 LDMOS FETs and several built-in sensors. The amplifier also contains several types of protection functions like too high current, too high swr, too high temperature, etc.

• WIFI Remote FUCHS ATU for EndFed Antenna - The Fuchs Antenna tuner with a resonant circuit as a coupler. The Fuch Antenna Tuner is providing a high-efficiency compare to a 49:1 transformer using ferrite . The Fuchs tuner is a resonating L/C circuit to step-up the impedance from 50 Ohm to the required 3k. The ATU is able to perform automatic tuning with the addition of a tiny Aduino Nano and a SWR bridge.
