X-Beam antennas - Two element X-Beam is a high-performance broad-band antenna that is ideal for Ham radio operators with limited space. X-Beams are inexpensive and easy to build. The performance of the simple X-beam is amazingly similar to larger, more conventional antennas by 4S7NR

The Lazy-H vertical antenna - A versatile antenna for dx work

160 Meter Vertical - This is a 90 foot tall top loaded vertical for 160 meters. It is constructed from aluminum irrigation tubing and has four sets of four guys each by w7iuv

Slim Jim 2m Vertical - This VHF 145 MHz antenna is easy to build and with no radials. It shows equal gain of 5/8 lambda. It is light weight, you can hang it somewhere (on a tree may be) and work.

80 meters Short Dipole - The best antenna is the simple Dipole. If you have height, you even can put up a quarter wave vertical or an inverted, but sometimes you may need shorten version by 4S7NR

Top Loaded Portable Vertical - A 3.5 Mhz top loaded vertical antenna built using 2 elevated radials by DJ9RB

Loaded Vertical for 80 Meters - Another version of the DJ8RB loaded vertical antenna

Ribbon Dipole - Ideal antenna for QRP work, as it has more gain over dipole.

Currents in Standing-Wave Antennas - How can the current "flowing" out of the top of a mobile loading coil be greater than the current "flowing" into the bottom of the coil?
