The Antenna Elmer - Here you will find information about wire antennas as well as directional beams.

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

X beams antennas - X bams wire antennas for 15 meters band

VK2ABQ Wire Beams - The VK2ABQ wire beam is described in Les Moxon's HF Antennas for all Locations which also contains the original references, but they are rather difficult to find. The VK2ABQ antenna is a planar wire beam that can be constructed from a single hub and four spreaders.

BVO70 Yagis by DJ9BV - The latest and best yagi beams for 432MHz tested and optimized with NEC

Reflected W Beam - Hexagonal Wire Beams for 40-10m from DL7IO, different mono/multiband designs with building descriptions and model files for EZNEC

Using Delta Matching on HF Beams - Using delta match with HF antennas design

Types of multiband antennas - Types of multi-band antennas for the HF bands, from the horizontal end fed wire, to g5rv, log periodics, trap dipoles, vee beams and rhombic antennas.

SpiderBeam construction guide - Build a spiderbeam from scratch for 20-17-15-12-10 meters band

Antennas basics  ^pop - An antenna study guide by NZART, cover basic topics like dipoles, wave lenght calculation, baluns, beams, dummy loads, and measurements.

Mini-Beam Geometry Basics - There is a natural progression of the geometry of the "mini-beams" deriving from the basic yagi, which in itself owes a lot to the common dipole. By Dick Stevens, N1RCT

VHF / UHF Direct Connect Beams Lengths - Here are some lengths and spacings for various direct connect beams.

Ham Radio Deluxe Cluster - Ham Radio Deluxe DX Cluster based on an original idea by the DXSummit cluster runs DXSpider

Ham Radio Deluxe DX Spots - Ham Radio Deluxe DX Cluster data is taken from the Amateur Radio DX cluster using DXSpider

Amateur Radio Country Files - This web site represents the home of "Country Files", databases of entities (countries), prefixes and callsigns that are used by amateur radio logging software. There are three "flavors" of country files: CTY.DAT used by contest logging software such as CT, N1MM, NA, TR and Writelog DX4WIN.CTY used by the DX4WIN logging software WPXLOC.DAT used by packet cluster software such as AR-Cluster, CC Cluster and DX Spider maintained by Jim Reisert, AD1C

ZX-YAGI Antennas - Fine HF beams for Ham Radio and CB made in Germany

The reflected W beam - Hexagonal wire beams for all hf bands, technical resource, EZNEC files, tools for antenna modeling and documentation. You can also order parts to build your own antenna.

Spider Antennas - Compact HF antennas for home and mobile use, compact HF maritime antennas, manufactured by multi-band antennas

Spiderbeam antennas  ^pop - High Performance Lightweight Antennas. The spider beam is a full size lightweight tribander yagi for 20/15/10m, made from fiberglass and wire. It has been specially developed as a highly efficient antenna for dx-pedition and portable use.

T.G.M. Communications - MQ-1 four band HF beams 20,15,10,6 meters MQ-2 six band HF beams 20,17,15,12,10,6 meters, beam antennas and Hybrid Quad antennas

NEC4WIN - NEC4WIN is a 32 bits commercial antenna simulation software based on MININEC3 developed by the Naval Ocean Systems Center in the 70s and 80s. It runs under Windows and can be used to simulate, analyze and optimize wire antennas, beams, verticals, etc. NEC4WIN has limitations. They are the same as Mininec3 on which the engine is based.

3 EL Quad Designer - This DOS program will figure the wire sizes for a 3 element quad and will also give you the distance from the center of the boom to drill your holes for mounting the wire on the spider. it also gives you the length of the 4 quarter wave lengths of wire in case you would like to figure the spreader drill points yourself.

DXSpider - DX Cluster - DXSpider is a clone of PacketCluster software that runs under several operating systems including Linux and Windows compatible with the AK1A program
