Dipole Height  ^pop - How High should my Dipole be? Dipole Antennas and the effect of height above ground

Wire Antenna Life - How long should a wire antenna last? Wire antennas are not forever. Installation and quality are major factors in the useful life. Don't forget maintenance. You can avoid an untimely failure.

Choke balun  ^pop - Essentially, a choke balun is designed to 'divorce' your antenna from the feed line. if your feed line is coaxial cable then you don't want it to be part of your antenna. you want to be able to deliver all your power to the radiator itself, i.e. 'the antenna'. a choke balun does this admirably

Loop Antenna Design - Full-wave loops are very popular antennas. They are especially useful on 80 and 40 meters where they perform well at modest heights
