Ground System on a 160M vertical - Ground system measurements on a 160 M vertical by Rudy Severns N6LF

How to make an end-fed antenna work  ^pop - Here is a sure fire way to make end-fed halfwave antennas fed with a 50 ohm coupler work - without long radials, grounds, chokes, voodoo.

End-Fed Halfwave Antenna  ^pop - The end-fed halfwave antenna is a resonant half wavelength long antenna like a dipole antenna except for it is fed at its end rather then in the center. This antenna is as old as radio and is probably best known as the Zepp Antenna

SWR Calculator - BesserNet Reflectometer is a fun SWR calculator and simulator Java applet

Low loss Japanese coaxial cable - 5D-FB,8D-FB,10D-FB cables offer very low attenuation comparable to that of famous Andrews' Heliax and 8D-FB is almost half that of standard RG-213 for an equivalent diameter!

A $20 HF mobile antenna - A few hours of fun with PVC and wire and you’ve got yourself a respectable road radiator. The antenna consists of little more than some PVC pipe topped by a RadioShack replacement whip antenna and a couple of coils made from a small roll of #14 house wire.

Maximum Usable Angle - We are all familiar with Maximum usable frequency. Maximum usable angle is the other half of the maximum usable frequency equation.

VLF Time Broadcasts - VLF Time Signal Stations, Station List Compiled by William Hepburn, LWCA

Mfsk - MFSK is an easy-to-use chat mode for real-time amateur contacts, nets and bulletin transmissions, but not intended for contesting or Bulletin Board System (BBS) use. It is a half-duplex non-Automatic Repeat ReQuest (ARQ) forward-error-correcting (FEC) mode. It performs well on long-path fading conditions and in the presence of interference

Antenna Noise and Signal Cancelling at LF - The fact that the phasing between a wanted signal and an unwanted signal can be different on different antennas is put to advantage. With this condition, the unwanted signal can be cancelled out by controlling amplitude and phase. The heart of the system is some form of phase control circuitry.

Frequency Calibration for Weak Signal Work - Accurate calibration of your receiver and sound card is necessary for good results with the weak signal modes in use at LF. Modern receivers with master oscillators that are synthesized to provide all conversion frequencies greatly simplify the process. This article describes a method of making the necessary measurements and adjustments to an ICOM R75 receiver and a sound card, using the ARGO software

Longwave operations - In the VLF portion of the spectrum it is easy to listen to the emissions created by the Earth itself. These emissions are generated by many different mechanisms and are often beautiful to listen to. Coverage on LF and MF frequencies

Mfsk - MFSK is an easy-to-use chat mode for real-time amateur contacts, nets and bulletin transmissions, but not intended for contesting or Bulletin Board System (BBS) use. It is a half-duplex non-Automatic Repeat ReQuest (ARQ) forward-error-correcting (FEC) mode. It performs well on long-path fading conditions and in the presence of interference

HF Antennas for restricted space - Arrl document about invisible antennas and indoor systems. It is important to consider that few compromise antennas are capable of delivering the performance one can expect from the full-size variety. But the patient and skillful operator can often do as well as some fellows who are equipped with high power and full-size antennas. The "cliff-dweller" may not be able to "bore a hole" in the band as often, and as easily, but DX can be worked successfully when band conditions are suitable.

Alfa Lima International - A free radio station that is transmitting world wide on several shortwave frequency 's with loads of pirate and freeradio information.

WEaudio recorder - WEaudio was born as a program to record activity on VLF band, it can records audio file on HD as long as you want within prefixed pauses. It can starts record at the hour you want to monitor.

Jason - Jason is a weaksignal communication program, especially tailored for LF work.

Control Freq Jr v2.0 - Control Freq Jr v2.0 is a software tool for the Uniden BC250D and BC785D to assist in programming these complex scanner radios.

QRM and noise reduction Priority listing - You will find on these pages my experiences and results on antennas and local/non-local QRM/noise reduction. Using a broadband vertical active magnetic loop and a home made / designed broadband amplifier. Two vertical magnetic Alford loops are used in an array. Analog and Digital Signal Processing and a dual phase coherent Software Defined Radio (SDR) are used. By PA0SIM

Wavefront CompactPCI (CPCI) RF converter - The Wavefront CompactPCI (CPCI) RF converter provides a complete half-duplex radio front-end in an industry-standard 6U format. The architecture consists of dedicated receive and transmit channels that share a common RF interface.
