80 meters Short Dipole - The best antenna is the simple Dipole. If you have height, you even can put up a quarter wave vertical or an inverted, but sometimes you may need shorten version by 4S7NR

Top Loaded Portable Vertical - A 3.5 Mhz top loaded vertical antenna built using 2 elevated radials by DJ9RB

Loaded Vertical for 80 Meters - Another version of the DJ8RB loaded vertical antenna

The 7-Hex Driven Vertical Array - The array consists of 7 vertical antennas arranged as 6 verticals in a hexagon shape plus 1 additional vertical in the center of the hexagon

Build a hanging dipole for 2 metres - Described here is a simple omni-directional, vertically-polarized dipole for two meters. Made from coaxial cable, it can be rolled up and stored in a small container

Radial System Design - Are the lengths of antenna radials related to the height of a vertical? By N6LF

WWVB Loopstick Antenna - A loop antenna for receiving WWVB based on the Amidon R33-050-0750 Ferrite rod.

The Low Frequency Receiving Loop - The Spreaders are 3 feet, making the loop 6 feet in diameter. There are 5 spreaders so the windings can alternate from side to side. There are 30 turns of 18 gauge stranded insulated wire.

Wire receiving loop antenna - A quick and easy to build loop antenna for shortwave listeining can tune from 5 to 18 Mhz

Another way to look at vertical antennas - What iss the difference between a dipole and a vertical? Maybe not as much as you think. Come along and try another point of view.

Verticals. Ground systems and some history - Article gives a good overview of the basics and reflects the accepted wisdom from BC antenna work.

Effects of Very Large Ground Screens - A theoretical and experimental study of the effects of very large ground screens on 20 meter verticals

Sensitivity of Multi Turn Receiving Loops - Magnetism is manifested as a 'field of vectors', that is, any point in the magnetic field has not only a magnitude, but a direction in space. The four Maxwell equations describe how electric and magnetic vector fields behave and interact.

Quarter Wave Verticals - One of the most useful antennas in the repertoire is the Marconi or quarter wave grounded vertical antenna. Its invention made it possible to halve the length of antennas, simplifying communications, especially at HF and below.
