The document provides a detailed guide on modifying an inverted-L antenna to include the 160 meters band. This enhancement allows amateur radio operators to utilize the lower frequency effectively, which is crucial for long-distance communication, especially during the night. The inverted-L design is popular due to its compact size and ease of installation, making it suitable for various environments. By adding top band capabilities, operators can engage in DXing and contesting on 160m, expanding their operational range and opportunities. The guide includes practical tips and considerations for construction, ensuring that the antenna maintains its performance across the extended frequency range. It discusses the necessary adjustments and materials required for the modification, along with potential challenges and solutions. Whether you are a seasoned operator or a beginner, this project can enhance your station's capabilities, allowing for more versatile operations and improved signal quality on the 160m band.

Demonstrates the design principles and performance characteristics of **corner reflector antennas**, emphasizing their high gain and directional properties. It covers critical design factors such as the corner angle and the spacing between the radiating dipole and the reflector vertex. The resource explains how reducing the corner angle increases gain but lowers feed impedance, making matching more challenging. Practical angles of 90 degrees or 60 degrees are discussed, with 90 degrees offering easier impedance matching despite slightly lower gain. Details key design considerations, including reflector side length exceeding two wavelengths and reflector width greater than one wavelength for a half-wave radiator. It specifies reflector construction using wire netting, sheet metal, or parallel metal spines spaced less than 0.1 wavelength. The article provides a table with general dimensions for UHF and VHF bands, noting typical impedance values of 50 to 75 ohms and expected SWR of 1.7:1 on the lower band edge. Adjustable radiator-to-vertex spacing is highlighted as crucial for final tuning.

Over 1,000 stations in approximately 60 countries were worked using this modified twin-lead folded dipole, demonstrating its effectiveness with just 4 watts on 20 meters. This design, adapted from an ARRL Handbook concept, eliminates the shorting strap found in traditional folded dipoles, simplifying construction while maintaining performance. It utilizes readily available 300-ohm TV antenna feeder ribbon, making it a cost-effective solution for radio amateurs. The antenna's robust construction allows it to handle up to 100 watts without issues, even without a **balun**. The inclusion of a variable trimmer capacitor at the stub provides flexibility for tuning across different frequencies within a band, a practical feature for operators using transceivers like the Icom 735. Formulas are provided to calculate the precise dimensions for any desired operating frequency, enabling customization for various **HF bands**.

The Russian Internet Callbook, hosted at krasnodar.online.ru, offers a specialized lookup service for amateur radio callsigns within the Russian Federation. This online tool is designed to assist DXers and contesters in identifying contact information for Russian stations. The resource functions as a digital callbook, allowing users to search for specific callsigns and retrieve associated data, which is crucial for QSLing and verifying contacts. While the concept is to provide a comprehensive database for Russian amateur radio operators, the current status indicates a configuration issue, as the domain krasnodar.online.ru points to the server but the site itself is not configured. This suggests the service may be inactive or undergoing maintenance, impacting its utility for callsign lookups. The original intent was to serve as a key _DX resource_ for the region.

Over 47 full-screen maps are available within _NAOMI_ (North American Overlay Mapper), a free Windows program designed for US and Canadian amateur radio enthusiasts. This mapping suite includes 9 backgrounds such as CQ Zones, ITU Zones, and ARRL Sections, along with 16 foreground layers like Counties, Areacodes, and Grid Locators. Users can calculate distances and bearings, track real-time mouse positions with continuous Grid-Locator data, and integrate with APRS for live station tracking via the FindU database. For a global perspective, the _Global Overlay Mapper_ (GOM) provides a world map, 8 continental maps, and 29 sub-continental maps, all with 12 active layers including Country Outlines, CQ/ITU Zones, and Prefix information. Both NAOMI and GOM offer feature-locate systems to jump to positions based on prefixes, capital cities, or Grid Locators, and provide customized beam headings and distance displays. The site also features _LogView_, a post-contest log visualization tool that analyzes Cabrillo-format logs by plotting QSOs on maps, supporting over 30 major contests like CQWW and ARRL DX, and allowing comparison with published results.

The Construction Principles for Duoband-Yagis 2m/70cm by DK7ZB

Small, but growing, group of amateur radio enthusiasts, most of whom are within 90 miles of Atlanta, are interested in promoting the development of the branch of amateur radio known as QRP - building and operating low power transmitters, receivers and transceivers.

This online article provides a list of individuals who hold or have held amateur radio callsigns, detailing their public recognition. The resource identifies specific callsigns such as **K1JT** (Joe Taylor, Nobel Prize in Physics), **W6OBB** (Art Bell, syndicated radio personality), and **JY1** (King Hussein of Jordan), linking them to their non-amateur achievements. It also notes operational statuses like _Silent Key_ for deceased operators and _lapsed callsign_ for inactive licenses. The article includes information on callsign changes due to vanity callsign programs and provides examples of individuals involved in specific technical areas, such as Percy L. Spencer (**W1GBE**), inventor of the microwave oven, and Jay Kolinsky (**NE2Q**), inventor of electronic sirens. It also references amateur radio involvement in _space missions_ for individuals like Owen Garriot (**W5LFL**) and Helen Sharman (**GB1MIR**).
