Constructing an End-Fed Half-Wave (EFHW) antenna offers a practical solution for HF operators seeking a multiband wire antenna without the need for extensive radial systems. This design typically employs a high-impedance transformer at the feed point, matching the antenna's inherent high impedance to a 50-ohm coaxial feedline. The article specifically details a 2012 approach, focusing on a transformer with a 49:1 turns ratio, which is a common configuration for EFHW antennas. The resource outlines the construction of a wire element cut for a half-wavelength on the lowest desired band, with specific coil arrangements enabling operation on harmonically related bands such as 40m, 20m, and 10m. It discusses the physical dimensions and winding details for the matching transformer, often utilizing a ferrite toroid core to achieve the necessary impedance transformation. The content provides insights into the operational principles and practical considerations for deploying such an antenna, including methods for tuning and optimizing performance across multiple amateur radio bands. While acknowledging that the presented information from 2012 may be superseded by newer insights, it serves as a foundational reference for understanding EFHW antenna theory and construction.

A coaxial cable trap is a fundamental component in multiband antenna design, enabling a single radiator to resonate efficiently on multiple frequencies by electrically shortening or lengthening the antenna element. This project focuses on constructing such a trap for a vertical antenna operating on the 10 MHz (30m) and 14 MHz (20m) amateur bands, providing practical insights into its fabrication and integration. The article outlines the specific dimensions and winding techniques for the coaxial trap, emphasizing the use of readily available materials. It details the physical construction of the vertical element, including the mast and radiating sections, to achieve optimal performance across both target bands. The author shares personal experiences with similar trap designs, noting their effectiveness in previous horizontal dipole configurations. Key construction steps are illustrated with _original photos_, showing the assembly of the trap and its incorporation into the overall antenna structure. The design aims for a compact footprint, making it suitable for limited space installations while still delivering effective DX capabilities on the **30-meter** and **20-meter** bands.

The article describes the construction of a Lindenblad antenna, which is well-suited for receiving signals from low-orbiting weather satellites. The key points are: The Lindenblad antenna has an omnidirectional horizontal radiation pattern and is optimized for low to medium elevation angles, making it ideal for tracking passing satellites near the horizon. It is designed to receive circular polarization, which is common for weather satellite signals. The antenna is constructed using 4 folded dipole elements arranged on a cross-shaped frame. The necessary materials include a plastic junction box, PVC tubing, and aluminum rods to form the dipole elements. The article provides detailed instructions for preparing the components, assembling the dipoles, and connecting the feed lines to create the complete antenna. The completed antenna can be mounted on a vertical support, with the dipole elements angled at 30 degrees from horizontal, to optimize reception of the passing satellites. The author notes that the design was originally published in a now-defunct magazine, Meteo Satellite Inf", in 1993

This project describes the construction of a W3HH (T2FD) antenna for HF bands (3-30 MHz). While less efficient than a tuned dipole, it offers broad frequency coverage with a maximum SWR of 3.4 and reduces QRM (noise) significantly. On the 80-meter band, it shows slightly weaker signals than a dipole but with improved signal-to-noise ratio. The design includes non-inductive resistors, a 13:1 balun, and a "frog ladder" transmission line. Though not a high-performance antenna, it is compact and versatile, making it ideal for wide-band HF communication. Article in French
