Interesting article on mobile antennas by Cebik. . The article offers advice for setting up and operating mobile antennas for ham radio use. It emphasizes the lossy nature of mobile-in-motion antennas but encourages users to rise to the challenge. Steps include safeguarding car electronics, choosing proper cabling, and carefully selecting and mounting antennas. It highlights potential issues like roof mounting, trunk lip grounding, and side-mounting for trucks. For stationary operation, options like dipoles or beams are explored, with safety tips for masts and guying systems. Lastly, it stresses safety, suggesting stopping the vehicle to operate whenever possible

A KD1JV Melt solder kit, a swr and power meter operating from 160 to 6 meters ideal for portable and field use

A half sloper antenna for 160 meter band Italian translation of a WD8DSB article appeared in a QST issue during 1998. This article presents a **Reduced-Size Half Sloper Antenna for 160 Meters**, designed for amateur radio operators with limited space. By utilizing a 40-foot tower or a tree, you can build an efficient antenna that slopes down, achieving a 2:1 SWR bandwidth of 120 kHz. This innovative design allows for effective communication on the "Top Band," making it ideal for winter DXing.

An excellent all-around 40 meter antenna for those who don't have room for a multi element yagi antenna

The page provides detailed instructions on how to build a double bazooka antenna for the 40 meters band. It includes information on materials needed, measurements, and assembly steps. The antenna can be configured as an extended dipole or an inverted V, offering low noise, wide bandwidth, and a 1:1 standing wave ratio. The content also offers calculations for other bands and includes photos of the antenna fabrication process.

The page contains the recommended Operating Code of Practice for 6 meters band as issued by UKSMG in collaboration with other organizations. It aims to improve productivity and enjoyment for all radio amateurs using the band. The code covers topics such as inter-regional calling frequency, local band plans, DX operations, and proper operating practices. It encourages adoption by other Amateur Radio Societies to promote responsible and respectful use of the 6m band.

Here are construction plans of a Turnstile antenna that I use for space communication on the 2 meter amateur radio band.

6 Meter DX Map with reports from the VE7CC DX Cluster

This antenna project came out very nice. It's a rugged homebrew multi-band trap vertical antenna that works the 10, 15, and 20 meter amateur radio bands. The antenna can be mounted on the ground or on a mast. Mounted on the ground the antenna has a low take off angle for working DX. If mounted on a mast the antenna will acheive both a low angle as well as another radiation lobe that has a much higher take off angle.

Here's an antenna that you can take with you. This is made from cheap flat 300 ohm TV antenna wire.
