Microvert Antenna for 40m by ON7IR - A mircovert antenna assembled for the 40m version of the DL7PE antenna. A one meter long aluminum tube with 24mm diameter is used for the base (element 1) and a 50cm aluminum tube with 20mm diameter for element 2 (the extention). A pvc pipe, 34cm long and with a diameter of 38mm, is used to wind the coil on (1mm enamelled copper wire).

End Fed Antenna for WARC Bands - I used a FT 240-43 for much more power, not needed but beter safe than sorry. 150 Watt continious, 300 Watt PEP SSB, 90 Watt Digimodes 10 Mhz, 18 Mhz, 24 Mhz Very easy to build design and a good antenna for people who don't have much space for big towers or long wires This design is from Hans - PE1RNU

Multi-Band End-Fed Antenna Design for Limited Space ^new - This document details the construction of a multi-band end-fed antenna, suitable for situations with limited space for larger antennas. The design utilizes a 1:49 to 1:60 impedance transformer to match a half-wave wire antenna fed at one end. Compared to a traditional dipole, this antenna resembles a highly unbalanced Windom antenna with one very long leg and a virtual short leg. The design eliminates the need for radials but relies on the coax cable shield for grounding. The document recommends using at least 10 meters of coax and installing a common mode filter at the entry point to the shack for improved performance.

Wire Antenna Design Lengths - The Classic Numbers for All Types of Wire Antennas at HF. Wire antennas need to be made a bit long and cut to resonance. They are affected by height above the ground and surrounding objects. In order to get an idea of the right place to start, certain formulas are generally accepted.

Long Wire Antenna for portable operations - With the view to establish a quick and easy multi-band antenna deployment for portable and camping operations a simple long wire antenna with an earth or earth plus counterpoise arrangement with a 9:1 voltage unun including a tuner or simply with a tuner is one possible solution. With the 9:1 voltage unun and wire lengths suggested in the below tables the antenna should present non extreme impedances for all HF amateur band frequencies. This page is far from complete and represents the ongoing investigation into this type of antenna. Experiments to date seem to have raised more questions than obvious answers.
