Vertical antenna for Vacation - Vertical Vacation Antenna for 80, 40 and 20 Meter-Band, by Herbert OE3BMB This antenna is a full size λ/4 for 20m and 40m band, and a shortened λ/4 for the 80m band. Generally on the 40m band the SWR is under 1,6. In 80m and 20m band at the resonant frequency the SWR is about 1,1.

Handheld Yagi - This is the handheld yagi can be used for working satellites when mobile. Offer 420 - 450 MHz 70cm bandwidth and the worst SWR is 1.3:1

Musings on the Miracle Whip design - A modified design of this popular portable antenna The whip described here will tune up to a respectable SWR on 40 metres and up.

The EZ-Tuner - The "EZ-Tuner" is a homebrew automatic legal-limit antenna tuner that covers all amateur HF bands from 160-10 meters. Using a T-network design and controlled by a BASIC Stamp BS2sx microcontroller, the EZ-Tuner will match at least a 16:1 VSWR for either unbalanced or balanced transmission lines.

Antenna Tuning Unit - This homebrewed antenna tuning unit also incorporates a 50-ohm QRP dummy load, power meter (1 or 10 Watts full scale), and SWR meter

TLDetails - Transmission Line Details. This utility program shows the impedance and SWR at both ends of a transmission line and the details of power loss in the line. It includes characteristics for over 40 built-in line types. You can modify these values to see how small changes affect the results or to specify custom lines. All program inputs may be changed directly or you can use spin buttons to make the changes. If you are using a moderately fast computer you can hold down a spinner and "watch the movie" on the charts as the results are recomputed. By AC6LA

2 Element beam designer - This is a DOS program that will design a 2 element beam for a given frequency. The gain is about 6db's the front to back ratio is about 10 db's. The SWR will be about 1.8 to 1, so for transistor rigs a tuner is needed The only information required is the freq in MHZ..
