A homemade delta loop antenna for six meters band in German

A homemade j-pole antenna for six meters band, designed to work on local repeaters, and working on the 52-53 MHz. Includes a list of needed materials and detailed description on assembling the copper tubes used to build this antenna.

An Hentenna project for the six meters band. The standard size of standard hentenna is width 1/6 wavelength x height 1/2. The antenna build in this project is a full wavelenght antenna for the 50 MHz providing a 6.8 dbi gain.

Getting Started on the Magic Band is a very exaustive article about operating the six meters band. It covers several aspects of operations, techniques, tips and guidelines on getting started on the six meters band.

A 30 cm antenna for the six meters band in japanese

Aircraft scatter is easily seen on the spectrogram window of digital communication apps, when you know what to look for. Examples of real aircraft scatter usage on six meters band

A j-pole antenna plan with drawings and dimensions that can help you on building your own j-pole antenna for the six meters band

Bring the six meters with you during your hoilidays. This article features a portable moxon antenna for 50 MHz used for sota portable operatios

This antenna is designed for 40, 80 and 160 meters to complement a tri-band beam normally taken on DX peditions for 10, 15 and 20 meters, so six bands can be worked with only two antennas.

This six element LFA Yagi for six meters has a 1.5 inch square boom with a 1.5 inch secondary boom beneath the first. This ensures the 7.3 metre long boom will not sag and will not require any guying. This antenna has 12.3 dBi Gain and just over 23dB F/B.

A 14.12 dBi gain three elements cubical quad antenna for the six meters band. This Quad Antenna design page include a MMA model available to download and dimensions for each element.

A 4 element Yagi Antenna for six meters band

This article details a ham radio operator’s experience setting up HF antennas in an antenna-restricted community. Initially using an AEA Isoloop magnetic loop for QRP PSK, the author later built an attic antenna system, including dipoles for multiple HF bands and a slinky dipole for 40 meters. The setup allowed for operation on six bands with acceptable VSWR. Despite space constraints and some compromises, performance was effective. The article highlights practical strategies, emphasizing experimentation and antenna modeling for optimizing performance in limited-space environments. A valuable guide for ham radio operators facing similar restrictions.

Explore the design and testing of a cage dipole antenna for 6 meters. Through innovative construction, witness a remarkable 77% increase in bandwidth and improved impedance characteristics.

A project for a six meters Yagi beam antenna, built mainly for portable operations. This is a 4 element Yagi beam with a 4 meters boom.
