The Grid Yagi for 144 Mhz - The Grid Yagi (or Grid Quad) is a high performance yagi antenna that can be built with readily obtainable inexpensive materials. Described here is a 6 element 2 meter version with a boom length of about 1 wavelength, shown

BiQuad Antenna for 144/440 - This is a vertically polarized Broadside and Collinear Array each Loop is a vertically polarized Broadside Array both the right and the left side of the Loop is a bent 1/2 wave dipole working 180 degrees out of phase with the other one and that gives you 4.15dbi of gain by KE4UYP

Build a Tuned Loop - How can you vastly improve your Medium Wave reception? its quite simple really, all you need is 120 foot of wire, a few lengths of timber and an old tuning capacitor with which you can build the answer to every DX'ers prayers, a tuned loop antenna.

DCTL Antennas and other compact antennas - The Distributed Capacitance Twisted Loop is an inexpensive, effective, resonant alternative that can fit in a 8' tall by 12' or so wide space, like a wall, or balcony, even on 80 meters. 160 meters from an apartment, a full wave look and a cage dipole

The Balcony Boomer Antenna - This antenna is an experimental combination of a 1/4 wave monopole and yagi style reflector

The Zeppelin antenna - It consists of a radiating wire with a length equal to the half-wave of the fundamental frequency for which the antenna is cut.
