A two dollar helical hf portable antenna  ^pop - Here’s an easily transportable vertical antenna for 20 meters collapsible to 4 feet that costs about $2.00 to make. This was created as a fun project to demonstrate how to enjoy operating HF in the field with a home-made portable antenna without spending a ton of money. Bev AH6NF (YL) made this antenna, tuned and ready to operate in less than one hour

Add 60 meters to butternut vertical antenna - The Butternut vertical is a great antenna in that it covers all HF bands from 160- though 10-meters (or 160-30 meters for the HF-2V) except 60-meters. This article describes three methods to add 60 meters to your Butternut vertical without losing any other bands.

IK-STIC 2 vertical multiband antenna - The IK-STIC 2 is a vertical, all band, antenna that is over 25 feet tall yet weighs under 5 pounds. Based on a telescopic pipe or a fiberglass fishing pole, using a tuner it can easily cover the amateur radio HF bands from 40 - 10 Meters

VectorFox - VectorFox is a software born to incorporate a PC into the fox hunting environment. VectorFox is able to take inputs from up to 5 sources, such as a 2m beam, a 2m signal meter, a TDOA, etc, and display the results on the screen. VectorFox also accepts Agrelo inputs. From these results the operator can choose which indication is best and have a line drawn on the map in the direction of the signal.
