Home of Club Station V31HQ, The Maya Hill Lodge, is ideal DXing from Central America. The shack is located outside the house as separate house and it is air conditioned. Offer HF VHF UHF equipment and EME setup.

A comprehensive overview of a 10-band attic antenna system developed for contesting and DXing is presented, covering its evolution and performance. Initially intended in a restricted location, the system has been developed through numerous iterations, using various antenna types such as delta loops and Yagis. Automatic switching, dual-direction capability, and optimum tuning for certain band segments are among the most notable features. The project not only improves operating efficiency but also provides great learning opportunities in antenna design and installation in restricted places.

The field strength meter (FSM) is a very useful addition to any HAM toolbox. If you are messing around with antennas, or building PA's, or trying to repair some TX gear, the FSM will come to your rescue when there is doubt about the output level.

This article focus on the radiation angle of vertical antennas and the fundamentals of electromagnetic wave propagation. The calculation of antenna length at 145 MHz is followed by an explanation of electromagnetic wave speed and the link between wavelength, frequency, and velocity. Author discusses the 5/8th wave vertical antenna, namely its performance and the influence of radiation angle on signal transmission. Figures and analogies demonstrate how different antenna types produce distinct radiation patterns. This highlights the importance of selecting the right antenna for a certain purpose, such as local traffic or dxing. The article discusses a variety of factors that affect antenna performance, including SWR, propagation conditions, and equipment dependability

This project details the design and construction of a Spider Quad antenna for HF bands (20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, and 10m). The boomless structure optimizes driver and reflector spacing, enhancing performance. Tuning and impedance matching were refined using antenna analyzers and a 1:2 balun. Final tests confirmed excellent SWR and gain, making this an efficient solution for top performance DXing.

John Lemay’s (G4ZTR) review of the Yaesu FT-847 offers a practical look at this all-mode transceiver, spanning 160m to 70cm, including 4m. While it falls short in dynamic range and sensitivity, its "shack-in-a-box" design shines for VHF DXing and multi-band use. Lemay shares hands-on tweaks, like calibrating 70cm with beacons and integrating footswitches for SSB and CW. The TX Inhibit feature simplifies sequencing with external gear. Despite minor flaws, the FT-847’s versatility and mod-friendly nature make it a solid pick for amateur radio enthusiasts craving flexibility.
