2 Elements revesible verticals antennas - 2 element reversible verticals, small footprint, big results.

Dual band 6m/4m Yagi - This antenna was optimized with the goal to minimize any changes in 6jxx6 impedance/lobes. The result is a 7 el on 70 MHz with a little loss of gain comparing with the other monobands of the same lenght.

The Simple Collinear - Wherever there is a need for a vertically polarized omni-directional antenna with gain, a collinear is used. The vertically polarized collinear takes the form of two or more half waves in-line and in-phase, resulting in an omni-directional pattern with maximum radiation near the horizon.

Feeder Radiation - Connecting centre fed antennas, dipoles, yagis, rhombics, loops to coaxial cable, unless care is taken, it is not difficult to end up with feeder radiation resulting in power loss and the radiation characteristics changes

The 3-D Folded Loop Antenna - This article will introduce you to an antenna author call the 3-Dimensional Folded Loop. This antenna is the result of his continuing efforts to compact full-size antennas by folding and bending the elements. A one-wavelength loop that is reduced in height and width by being folded into three dimensions.

The VHF Quagi - There have been many half-hearted attempts to combine a Yagi and a Quad. Most have produced questionable results. Well, here are the "true" facts, the real dope, the hot scoop. K6YNB in QST April 1977

6 element yagi for 144 mhz - A 6 elements VHF Yagi antenna designed with YAGIMAX 3 and made by SV1XY with excellent results on local and satellites contacts like UO-14 and AO-27

An Examination of the Gamma Match - W3PG working analysis of the gamma match problem taht gives useful practical results

A Portable Antenna Matching Unit - A small HF antenna tuner project for qrp operations. Includes circuit diagrams pictures and test results by GW4ALG

G8JNJ Broadband HF Vertical Antenna - G8JNJ Broadband HF Vertical Antenna - Requires no tuner - great results from 40m to 10m plus 80m & 6m with reduced performance

Antique Mall Books - We have a large selection of PHOTOFACT, repair manuals as well as some Perpetual Troubleshooter's Manuals. New ones are added almost daily.

Club Log - Welcome to Club Log, a web-based tool for producing DXCC league tables, log search services and most-wanted lists for ham radio clubs and societies.

International DX Association, Inc - The International DX Association is an amateur radio organization dedicated to working DX and making DX possible. Promotes and supports DX operations in countries that have limited or no amateur radio activity. Support is usually to DXpeditions to rare DXCC entities. Provides DX news and QSL routes on 14.236 MHz at 2330z.

YouTube : AO-51 Videos - Videos of AO-51 operations. Randy K7AGE has produced a number of practical and useful videos including good info on a minimal antenna setup for AO-51 reception.

Qucs - Quite Universal Circuit Simulator Priority listing - Qucs, briefly for Quite Universal Circuit Simulator, is an integrated circuit simulator which means you are able to setup a circuit with a graphical user interface (GUI) and simulate the large-signal, small-signal and noise behaviour of the circuit. After that simulation has finished you can view the simulation results on a presentation page or window. Run on Linux.

linSmith - Smith chart utlity - A Smith charting program. You can enter either discrete components or transmission lines, see the results on screen and/or generate Postscript output. Component values can be changed numerically or using scrollbars.

Batteries and QRP - Thanks to the popularity of cell phones, laptops and other personal electronic devices, the battery industry has been market-driven to produce higher capacity batteries in lighter weights than previously possible with yesterday's chemistries.As a result, a wide variety of battery types are available to the outdoor QRP operator.
